Wild Huckleberry Jam
A deliciously simple recipe without processed sugar, pectin, and high fructose corn syrup.
Ingredients
- 3 cups huckleberries frozen or fresh
- ½ cup raw honey you can use more or less depending on your taste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the huckleberries in a medium-sized saucepan on medium-high. If the berries are fresh crush them using a potato masher or the back of a fork. If the berries are frozen cook & stir frequently until they begin releasing juices then mash, for 5-7 minutes.
- Once the berries are mashed add lemon juice & honey, stir about 5-7 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low, and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes. Let it cook on low until the jam starts to thicken, about 10 minutes. You can test the thickness by placing a spoonful in the freezer & check after 5 minutes. The longer it’s cooking the thicker the jam.
- Store in a tightly covered sterilized jar in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
