How to Make Summer Berry Jam No Pectin

  1. Wash and hull berries. Core and mince the apple.
  2. In a large bowl, gently mash the berries and apple together using a potato masher. Leave some larger pieces for texture.
  3. Transfer the berry mixture to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add honey, sugar, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil, stirring frequently, for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. The jam should thicken considerably and sheet off the back of a spoon.
  7. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the lemon juice.
  8. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  9. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean, and seal tightly with lids.
  10. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (or follow recommended guidelines for your altitude) to ensure proper sealing and shelf stability. Allow to cool completely.
