Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen strawberries
- 2 cups Frozen cherries (pitted)
- 1 cup Frozen blueberries
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, cherries, blueberries, and water. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Once the berries begin to soften and release their juices, use a potato masher or fork to gently mash them to your preferred texture.
Step 3
Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice, and continue to simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cook for 25-30 minutes, or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. To test, place a small spoonful on a cold plate and run your finger through it; if the mixture holds its shape and does not run, it is ready.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and let the preserves cool for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the preserves to sterilized jars and let them cool to room temperature before sealing them tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars for canning according to your preferred method for longer storage.
Step 7
Serve the mixed berry preserves on toast, as a dessert topping, or use it in baking for a burst of berry flavor!
