  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 2 45-g pkgs freezer-jam pectin, such as Bernardin

Instructions

  • CRUSH strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with a potato masher in a large bowl. You should have about 5 cups. Stir in zest.

  • STIR sugar with pectin in a medium bowl. Sprinkle over fruit. Stir until combined, then let stand for 3 min. Stir again. Ladle into 6 clean 250-mL Mason jars, leaving about 1/2 in. headspace. Wipe rims clean, then apply lids tightly. Let stand for at least 30 min. Use right away, or transfer jars to freezer for storage. Jam keeps well, frozen, up to 1 year. To use, simply thaw a jar. Once opened, store in the fridge.


Kitchen tip

Freezer-jam pectin is different from liquid or regular pectin, and it’s crucial for this recipe. Look for it at the hardware store (such as Canadian Tire), by the canning supplies.
