Ingredients:
Fresh strawberries – 500 gms
Fresh blueberries – 200 gms
Sugar – ¾ th cup
Juice of one Lime
Method:
Powder the Sugar and set aside
Wash the berries clean and chop them up
Add the juice of one lime to the berries
Mix the sugar and the berries, make sure all the berries are
coated well in the sugar
Cover and set aside, at least for an hour
Boil water in a deep pan and soak the glass jar where you
want to store your jam to sterilize, once you put the glass jar
and the lid in the water, lower the heat, you can switch it off as well
Heat a thick bottomed pan
Pour the mixture into the pan and keep stirring on medium
flame
It takes about 30 minutes for the jam to come to the right
consistency
Do a saucer test, pour a little bit of jam on a saucer, and
tilt it, if the jam does not leave a water trail, it is done
Take out the sterilized glass jar from hot water, pour the
water out and store the jam in it, use a funnel if possible, it will make sure
the jar is clean from the edges. I did not have a funnel hence mine look a
little messy around the edges
Put the lid on once the jam has cooled down a bit
Store it in the fridge, it can be stored for 6 months or
more if every time a moisture free clean spoon is used to take out the jam
Enjoy!
