Refrigerator Jam

This was an easy jam to make and I liked that it doesn’t require pectin and that you can store it in the fridge. My family loved this jam. I chose strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, since those looked best in my local market. I can’t wait to try this recipe using freshly picked berries, as I’m sure it’ll be even better, if that’s possible. Since I didn’t have a candy thermometer, I used the frozen plate option to test the jam for readiness. The jam was perfectly cooked at the suggested time of 1 1/2 hours. Even though this takes a while to cook, it’s well worth the wait, and you can busy yourself in the kitchen preparing other things while it cooks, just giving it an occasional stir and checking how it’s progressing. I only made a half recipe, which worked great, as I ended up with two not-quite-full pint jars. I had a jar to keep and one to send home with my daughter. Next time I’m sure I’ll make a whole recipe since it was such a hit at our house. I’ll be using this recipe often this summer, I’m sure.
