Mixed Berry Oven Jam

⏱ 45 mins 🍽 1 cup 🏷 Raspberries

This straightforward jam requires minimal effort for a delicious result. Combine strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries with sugar, lemon, and salt in a baking dish. The oven does the work, cooking the fruit until soft and syrupy. After baking, vanilla is stirred in and the mixture is mashed before being transferred to a jar. The process yields about one cup of sweet, homemade preserve.

  8. Lift the parchment paper to create a funnel and guide the jam into a mason jar or another container with a tight seal.
