An easy to make Pectin Free Mixed Berry Jam. 5 minutes of your time with a handful of ingredients. A must try for Jam lovers.
My mom shared this recipe with me for Pectin Free Mixed Berry Jam. This recipe is so versatile that you can use any type of berry you want!
While I usually use fresh berries, on a few occasions I used the frozen variety. You just need to defrost them and strain them to limit the amount of juice you are transferring to the pot.
Like many of you, I love a good peanut butter and jam sandwich. I like mine on a nicely toasted sesame bagel. If you’ve seen the prices for jams recently, you will appreciate this cheaper alternative that is super easy to make.

Are you like me and ever wonder what the heck Chia Seeds are all about? I mean we see them in a lot of recipes these days. I decided to Google it and found this article on Chia Seeds.
