    Recipe variations

    This is a fantastic healthy jam recipe that can be used on many different dishes. 

    I serve it on top of my porridge or pancakes in the morning or have it on sourdough toast with peanut butter as a snack. It is a very nutritious jam that can lift many sweet and savoury recipes. All round, it it is a great staple sauce to have in stock. 

    You may use any type of berries that are available and in season. 

    If you are using fresh berries, crush them up a little bit before heating up to release the juices. 

    How long does it last

    This recipe will last 5 days in the fridge, the fresher it is the better it tastes. When stored in the fridge for a long time it will lose it's vibrancy.

    You can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months.

    You my need to add another splash of lime or sweetener before serving and give a mix to freshen the jam back up.
