Fruit Preserves
1 pound
berries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup
sugar
Squirt of
lemon juice (once or twice around the pan)
In
large saucepan over low/medium heat.
Mash berries with potato masher.
Stir in sugar and lemon. Cook,
stirring every 5 minutes or so, until volume is reduced to 1/3 – 1/2 original.
Let
cool and put in jar. Will keep 4-6 weeks
in refrigerator or 6 months in freezer.
I’ve
used fresh and frozen. I’ve used
strawberries, raspberries and that frozen berry mixture from the grocery
store. They’ve all been excellent!
Watch
when it starts to boil. The bubbles WILL
make a mess all over your stove if your pan is too small.
