Ingredients

• 1 lemon, for juice
• 6 cups fresh (or frozen) mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
• 1 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Squeeze lemon for juice (1 tablespoon). Stir all ingredients in a large saucepan until coated. Set aside 30 minutes to marinate.

Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer and stir 15-18 minutes or until sauce is thick and berries have broken down (for a more spreadable jam smash berries with back of spoon while stirring). Remove from heat and set aside, uncovered, 1 hour to cool completely before placing in an air-tight container.

Chill 2 hours before serving, may be kept up to one week. Serve on warm biscuits, oven ice cream, or basted on grilled chicken. (Makes about 2 cups.)
