Sugarless Cherry, Blackberry , and Raspberry Jam
You only need three ingredients for this jam. The consistency is more of a topping or spread than a jam. It is tart and has to be kept in the fridge.
Ingredients:
1 lb. fresh fruit ¼ tsp salt 4 tsp. chia seeds (optional) 1TBS. honey 1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
Carefully rinse the fruit. Pit and halve the cherries. If you want the cherries to be smaller, roughly chop them. Put the fruit and the salt in a heavy saucepan with ¼ cup of water. Cover and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the raspberries begin to fall apart. Uncover the pot and continue to cook it for about 5-8 minutes, stirring often and mashing the mixture gently. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, lemon juice and chia seeds if you use them. Fill the cooled mixture into a jar and store in the fridge. Guten Appetit! recipe by Ananda Eidelstein in Real Simple magazine adapted by Sunnycovechef.com |
