The berries can be cooked whole.

You can mix peaches and mangoes together.

The leftover syrup taste great on vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

  • 2.5 kg of fruit (strawberry, raspberry, peach or pear cut in pieces)
  • 2 kg white sugar
  • 350 ml water (for method two only)

Method one for berries:

  • The night before, cover the berries with sugar
  • The next day, drain the liquid from the berries. Bring liquid to a boil.
  • Diminish liquid by half, add the berries to the liquid
  • Boil for 15 minutes and remove the foam on top
  • Place the fruit in seal-able sterilized jars and top up with liquid
  • Cover with lid and wait for 2 hours. For the jars that do not seal properly they must either be kept in the refrigerator or placed in a large pot of boiling water for one hour

Method two for peaches and pears:

  • In a large deep pot, melt the sugar in water using low heat and steering frequently
  • Bring to boil for about 10 minutes and remove the foam on top
  • Add fruit and cook for about 20 minutes
  • Put the fruit in seal-able sterilized jars, top up with liquid
  • Cover with lid and wait for 2 hours. For the jars that do not seal properly they must either be kept in the refrigerator or placed in a large pot of boiling water for one hour

Method three for a thicker jam:

  • In a large pot, break the fruit apart with a potato masher
  • Cook for about 15 minutes
  • Add sugar (if cooking pears or peaches, you may want to add 5 ml grounded cinnamon or nutmeg)
  • Cook for another 15 minutes
