Manathakkali Berry Jam

Step 1

Assemble berries, sugar and lemon juice in a small pan.

Step 2

Allow the berries to cook in their own juices—stir a little initially until the sugar dissolves completely (and to keep the berries from bursting from heat exposure), and then leave the pan alone (but not unattended) until all the berries have turned to mush and the jam is thickening just slightly.

Step 3

This won’t take more than a few minutes, so keep an eye on it.

Step 4

Remove from heat and enjoy!
