Berry Jam made with Saskatoon Berries, Oregon Grapes, and Huckleberries.
Servings: 3 (8 oz) jars
Calories: 45kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups Saskatoon berries
- 2 cups Oregon grapes
- 2 cups huckleberries
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sugar
- ¼ cup limoncello (or lemon/orange juice)
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Add Saskatoon Berries and Oregon Grapes to a medium saucepan. Add one cup of water and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Mash berries with a potato masher, or spoon, then work to extract their juice using a sieve. I was able to get two cups of juice. If you get less, add enough water to equal 2 cups.
- Return strained juice to the pot and add huckleberries. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add sugar, limoncello (or lemon/orange juice), and spices. Boil for 20 minutes, or until the jam starts to thicken, stir occasionally. The jam thickens further upon cooling.
- Ladle in sterilized jars, hand tighten lids, and process for 10 minutes in boiling water.
Notes
- For more citrusy flavor, add one or two dried orange slices.
- Place a small amount of jam in the fridge to see what the final consistency will be. If it's still too runny after 30 minutes in the fridge, boil the jam for 10 minutes longer.
