- Boil – Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Mash – Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Mash the berries with a potato masher, leaving some pieces of fruit if you prefer a chunkier jam.
- Cook – Simmer for about 20–30 minutes, stirring frequently, especially toward the end as the jam thickens.
- Test for doneness – Spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then push it gently with your finger. If it wrinkles and doesn't immediately flow back together, the jam is ready.Alternatively, use a candy thermometer. The jam should reach approximately 220°F (104°C) at sea level.
- Jar – Remove from the heat and ladle the hot jam into clean, warm jars. Cool and refrigerate, or freeze in freezer-safe containers.
