This delightful jam combines a trio of favourite berries into one preserve. Using frozen raspberries, strawberries and blueberries works perfectly, though fresh fruit would also be excellent. The process involves cooking the crushed fruit with sugar before adding liquid pectin. You will need to sterilise your jars beforehand to ensure the jam keeps well. The recipe makes approximately six jars and is ready in about 25 minutes.
