Serves
3
500g berries e.g. raspberries, blackberries
2 cups Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar
1 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Place berries and lemon juice in a deep microwave proof bowl (glass or Pyrex). Microwave on high power for 2 minutes then stir in the Sugar. Cook on high for 5 minutes then stir.
Cook for a further 5 to 8 minutes until the jam setting point is reached (104°C). A jam or candy thermometer to accurately gauge this temperature eliminates all the guess work.
Pour into 2 warm sterilised jars and seal.
Tip: To sterilise jars in the microwave half fill clean jars with cold water and cook on high 2 to 3 mins until the water boils. Carefully tip out the water and fill the jars while still warm.
Makes 2 1/2 cups.
Works every time! I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I've been using this recipe ever since it appeared as a "take away" page in the grocery store. Twenty years?? I even freeze my berries in 500g bags, because that's what the recipe calls for, and I can take any of them out of the freezer and straight in to the microwave to get started. A real winner.
Fantastic easy to follow recipe. Loved that the instructions were so comprehensive including how to sterilise the jars. Thanks so much :)
