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.
