Ingredients:
* 1 bag sugar

* 1 large punnet of mixed berries
* 1 small punnet redberries

* 1 tin of cherries (pitted)
* 3 tablespoons lemon juice
* 3 tablespoons water
Method:
1. Add the redcurrants first with the water and lemon juice, mash slightly to release juice and flavour. Heat on a low-medium temperature until they go soft. (Approx 20 mins)
2. Next add all of the berries and cook low-medium heat for about 5 minutes until all fruit is soft.
3. Pour the sugar into the pan and heat gently, stirring from time to time. When all the sugar has dissolved, being to the boil and keep stirring. Boil and stir continuously until setting point is reached.
4. Setting point is reached when you put a little bit of the mixture on a plate and after about 1 minute it has set to a sticky consistency. It will still seem very liquid in the boiling pan, don't be fooled!

Extra Tips:
* fruit can be quite expensive. These are the berries that I had in the house, if you have any different variations of berries you could make any kind of jam. Just make sure to add sugar and lemon to taste so it's not too sweet or too bitter
* pour into sterilised jars quickly whilst still boiling so that when you put the lid on, it will pop the safety on the lid.
