Ingredients

Quickest Fruit Jam

  • 1/2 to 1 C fresh or frozen (thawed) berries
  • 1 T sugar/maple syrup/honey
  • 1 small pinch salt

Instructions

Quickest Fruit Jam

1.
add + mash

To a mixing bowl, add 1/2 to 1 cup of fresh or frozen and thawed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc., or a mix of berries!). Chop larger berries first to make them easier to mash. Next, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Mash berries using a potato masher until you have a smooth consistency. A few small chunks can remain and are delicious! Or, add chopped berries, sugar, and salt to a resealable plastic bag, seal tightly, and squish with your hands until berries are mashed! Serve with warm High-Tea English "Crumpets" (see recipe) and Sweet and Savory Butters (see recipe)!
