Mixed Berry Jam with Frozen Berries, a delicious homemade jam made in a snap with just a few simple ingredients. It's a fantastic low-batch jam with no pectin added, and it doesn't require canning either. The mixed frozen blueberries, raspberries and strawberries make this jam incredibly flavourful, you will never use store-bought jam again.

Ingredients
- 350 g frozen strawberries
- 125 g frozen raspberries
- 175 g frozen blueberries
- 300 g granulated sugar
- juice from half a lemon
Instructions
- In a pan set over a medium heat, add the frozen berries, sugar and lemon juice.
- Mix everything using a wooden spoon.
- Allow the fruit to simmer gently to release its juices, and stir occasionally until most liquid is reduced, and the jam has started to thicken, but it's still sloppy.
- Pass the jam through a sieve to remove all the raspberry seeds, then allow the jam to cool down completely, it will set further once it's cool.
- Transfer the jam to 2 jars, and refrigerate them until ready to use.

Notes
- You might be tempted to add some water once the fruit, sugar and lemon juice are in the pan, but there is no need to add any liquid at all, the fruit will quickly release lots of juice.
- If you don't mind the raspberry seeds and other bits in the jam, you don't have to pass it through the sieve, I just preferred the smoother texture, it makes the jam have a jelly-like consistency.
- Since it's a small batch, I did not can it, the jam can be transferred to jars and refrigerated to be consumsed within a few weeks. If you wish to can it, you have to sterilise the jars and transfer the jam to them while it's still very hot.
