Slow Cooker Amish Jam
This old-fashioned Amish-style jam is slow-cooked to bring out the natural sweetness of fresh berries. With just a few simple ingredients and no standing over a hot stove, this recipe is perfect for making homemade jam with ease.
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed berries such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 package fruit pectin 1.75 oz
Instructions
- Begin by washing and hulling the berries. If using strawberries, cut them into quarters.
- Place the berries in the slow cooker and mash them slightly with a potato masher to release their juices.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice to the slow cooker, stirring to combine.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- After 2 hours, stir in the fruit pectin and continue to cook on high for another 30 minutes.
- Once the jam has thickened, ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal.
- Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Notes
Use a mix of sweet and tart berries for best flavor. Jam can be refrigerated for short-term use or canned for long-term storage.
