TRI-BERRY JAM



Tri-Berry Jam image

My mother-in-law and I dreamed up this jam after we'd been picking blueberries one day. She wondered if blueberries, raspberries and strawberries would taste good together. So she made a test batch-and we quickly learned that they definitely did! Then I came up with my own version of the jam. I preserve everything from our garden! -Karen Maerkle, Baltic, Connecticut

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 ounces fresh sour cherries
1 pint fresh raspberries
10 ounces fresh blueberries
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell Premium Fruit Pectin®)
7 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Prepare fruit and measure. Remove pits from cherries and measure 3 cups of pitted sour cherries. Crush raspberries and measure 1 cup crushed raspberries. Mash blueberries and measure 1 cup mashed blueberries.
  • Combine cherries, raspberries, and blueberries in a large pot. Stir in pectin. Slowly bring to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Stir in sugar sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
  • Ladle cherry berry jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

MIXED BERRY FREEZER JAM



Mixed Berry Freezer Jam image

Homemade jam has never been simpler! Mash your favorite in-season berries until almost smooth, then stir in sugar, pectin and a touch of lemon juice--no cooking involved. Store in your freezer and enjoy deliciously sweet jam all year long.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 45m

Yield about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons instant pectin (see Cook's Note)
Pinch fine salt
2 cups mixed berries, such as blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and stemmed strawberries
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Stir together the sugar, pectin and salt in a small bowl until combined. Mash the berries in a separate large bowl with a fork or potato masher until evenly and finely crushed; stir in the lemon juice.
  • Add the sugar mixture to the berry mixture and stir until well combined and the sugar has fully dissolved, about 2 minutes (this will also help the pectin bloom). Ladle into a glass mason jar or other freezer-safe container and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to set. Cover and store in the freezer for up to 1 year.

BERRY JAM



Berry Jam image

Jam made from peak-season berries is a far cry from anything you can buy at the grocery store. As the berries cook, the water in them evaporates, their sugars thicken and their flavors concentrate. What's left is the fruit's essence, which is why it's worth seeking out the best berries you can. This recipe works for several berry varieties, but note that some types are naturally more acidic than others, so adjust the fresh lemon or lime juice accordingly.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     jams, jellies and preserves

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 cups (4 to 6 8-ounce jars)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 pounds/1.8 kilograms whole blueberries or raspberries; blackberries, halved lengthwise; or 4 1/2 pounds/2 kilograms strawberries, hulled and quartered (see note)
3 cups/600 grams granulated sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice (from about 2 lemons or limes)
Add-ins (optional, see note)

Steps:

  • Toss berries and sugar together in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Let sit for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight, periodically tossing to coat and to dissolve the sugar. (This will help coax the juices out of the fruit.)
  • Place a small plate in the refrigerator to chill. (You'll use this later.)
  • Bring the fruit to a strong simmer over medium heat until the berries burst and the juices start to boil, about 15 minutes. If using a vanilla bean as an add-in, put it in the pot at this point.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the jam, at first stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon or spatula, then more frequently as the juices thicken. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the fruit has begun to break down, 40 to 50 minutes. How much it breaks down will depend on its type and ripeness: For example, strawberries are likely to retain more of their shape, while raspberries will break down almost entirely.
  • As the jam cooks, the liquid will reduce, the sugars thicken and the natural pectins activate. You'll notice the liquid go from a rapid, rolling boil with smaller bubbles to a slow, thick, tarlike boil with larger bubbles: This is the stage at which it's most important to stir constantly along the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching and sticking. (Sugar is heavier than water and will concentrate there, increasing the chance that the fruit will burn.) It's also the stage at which splattering may occur, so take care in stirring.
  • Once the jam reaches a slow, thick boil, add lemon juice and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the jam returns to its earlier consistency, about another 5 minutes. To test the consistency, spoon a bit of jam onto the chilled plate, return it to the refrigerator and chill for 2 minutes. Drag your finger through it: It should hold its shape on either side without appearing watery or runny. If it's not there yet, cook a few minutes more. (Note: Some fruit, like strawberries, contain more water and less natural pectin than say, a raspberry. This means the jam will never be quite as thick or gelled, but it will still be delicious).
  • Remove from heat, and incorporate any of the add-ins listed (see notes). Pick out vanilla bean if you added it earlier. Divide jam between several 8-ounce canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space, and seal immediately. Can the jams (see our How to Make Jam guide for more instruction), or store in the refrigerator, using them within a couple of weeks.

EASY MULBERRY (OR ANY BERRY) JAM (LOW SUGAR)



Easy Mulberry (or any berry) Jam (low sugar) image

My kids picked a bunch of mulberries from our tree and brought them in last night wanting me to make jam. I've never made it, so I went to the web to see if I could find an easy recipe. Most of the recipes used fruit pectin and A TON of sugar. Since I don't keep pectin on hand, and I did not want to use that much sugar, I kept...

Provided by cindy sandberg

Categories     Fruit Breakfast

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 c berries, washed, stems removed(i used mulberries)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c freshly squeezed orange juice
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice in a small bowl and set aside to dissolve.
  • 2. Place the berries and the sugar in a saucepan. Mash the berries, making them as smooth or as chunky as you wish. I used a hand-held immersion blender for this, but you could probably just use a potato masher.
  • 3. Heat over med-high heat until boiling and cook for 1 min. Add the o.j. mixture, stir to combine, return to boil and cook 3 min.
  • 4. Remove from heat and allow to cool in pan for about 10 min. Pour into jars or freezer containers. Cool completely. Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks, or for longer in the freezer.
  • 5. **This is a very small amount of sugar compared to most jelly and jam recipes, but the jam was plenty sweet for us. Most recipes use lemon juice, and I think that using orange juice instead really compensated for the smaller amount of sugar since oranges are quite a bit sweeter than lemons.

Yield Makes three to four 1/2-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 5-to 6-ounce containers raspberries and blackberries (3 containers each)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in large bowl. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Put 2 saucers in freezer.
  • In bottom of heavy large stockpot at least 3 inches deeper than height of jars, place metal rack or extra screw bands from canning jars to protect jars from direct heat. Fill pot with water, cover, and bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low. Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse well. Set screw bands on clean towel to dry. Place lids in small saucepan; cover with cold water and bring to simmer; turn off heat. Fill jars with very hot water.
  • Transfer fruit mixture to large saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Mash to thick puree with potato masher. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until mixture begins to thicken, stirring often, about 18 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat to test jam for gelling point. Drop 1 teaspoonful jam on chilled saucer and return to freezer 1 minute. Remove saucer and push edge of jam with fingertip. If jam has properly gelled, surface will gently wrinkle. If not, return saucepan to heat and cook jam a few minutes longer; repeat test.
  • Drain hot water from jars and shake out excess water. Place jars on cutting board. Ladle hot jam into each jar, leaving 3/4-inch space at top. Slide flat plastic spatula between jam and jar to eliminate air bubbles. Clean rim of each jar with damp cloth. Using tongs, lift hot lids from saucepan, 1 at a time, shake dry, and place atop jars. Seal each with screw band, twisting to close but not too tightly. Return filled jars to pot of hot water.
  • Add water to pot, if necessary, to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Cover pot and bring to boil; reduce heat and boil gently 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Wait 5 minutes; use tongs to remove jars without tilting. Place upright on towel; cool completely at room temperature. Jam will thicken as it cools.
  • Check lids for seal by pressing each lightly. Lids of sealed jars will be concave and show no movement when pressed.

This was my first try at making homemade jam and I can't believe how good it came out. I made up my own recipe after being unable to find this recipe here. If you like a spicy jam that goes best on crackers/bread with brie or cream cheese - this is the jam for you!

Time 1h5m

Yield 80

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup water
½ teaspoon calcium phosphorus powder
2 teaspoons low methoxyl pectin with calcium (such as Pomona's Universal Pectin ®)
1 ½ cups sugar
4 cups mashed mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
¼ cup lemon juice
1 habanero pepper, diced, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Immerse 5 (8-ounce) jars in simmering water until jam is ready, or at least 10 minutes. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Combine 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon calcium powder in a small jar with a lid to make calcium water. (Note: you will use just 2 teaspoons calcium water for 4 cups mashed fruit. Store the remainder in the refrigerator and use within 6 months.)
  • Mix pectin powder and sugar in a bowl. Place mashed berries, 2 teaspoons calcium water, lemon juice, and habanero pepper in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once berry mixture is boiling, add sugar mixture and stir vigorously for two minutes. Bring back to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

BERRY-JAM FRIED CHICKEN



Berry-Jam Fried Chicken image

The name sounds like a sweet-tooth parade, but this recipe makes sense when you pair it with a spicy scallion cornmeal waffle. Wells' Restaurant, a popular 1930s Harlem supper club, cemented the chicken and waffle combination in American culinary history; Amy Ruth's in Harlem, Beans & Cornbread in suburban Detroit and Hotville in Los Angeles continue that tradition. Almost any summer-fruit jam can be substituted in the marinade, and if you don't have peanut oil, use another oil with a high smoke point.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large egg
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup strawberry jam (or other summer-fruit jam)
2 pounds large, thick chicken breast cutlets (about 6 pieces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
Peanut oil (or other oil with a high smoke point), as needed (about 3 cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Scallion Cornmeal Waffles, or Bacon Cornbread

Steps:

  • Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk the egg, vinegar and jam. Add chicken cutlets, turn until coated, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Prepare the dredge: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch and spices until combined.
  • When you're ready to fry, add enough peanut oil to a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet to form a layer that is 1 inch deep. Heat oil over medium-high to around 300 degrees.
  • Brush off any bits of fruit from the chicken. With one hand, coat each cutlet in the seasoned flour dredge. Set coated cutlets to the side of the bowl while you coat the remaining ones. Wash your hands.
  • Fry the chicken: Working in batches to avoid crowding, and adjusting the temperature as needed to hover around the 300-degree mark, place 2 to 3 pieces of chicken at a time in the fat. Using tongs, flip the chicken at the 3-minute mark, 7-minute mark and 8-minute mark, cooking until the chicken appears to float and is golden brown. (Each batch should fry for about 8 minutes total.)
  • Transfer fried cutlets to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and cook remaining cutlets.
  • Serve chicken on a scallion cornmeal waffle, if you like, or with bacon cornbread with Cheddar and scallions. Or, for a lighter morning or midday meal, serve with a breakfast salad.
