rings and label jars. Store in a cool, dark place.
Tips:
• Smokey Chipotle Jam: Add a savory note to your Berry jam by adding ½ tsp. dried chipotle chili powder to
the recipe with the sugar. Serve with cheese, pork, chicken or salmon or try it with roast turkey as a delicious
zesty alternative to cranberry sauce.
• Sparkling Berry Pop: Fill a tall glass with ice and as spoonful or two of Mixed Berry Jam. Fill the glass with
sparkling water or club soda and stir until jam dissolves. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
• Grilled Cheese & Berry Sandwiches: Spread some Mixed Berry Jam on the inside of your grilled cheese
sandwich. It’s great with smoked gouda, brie or a nice sharp cheddar and add some ham or bacon!
• Berry Cream Cheese Frosting: Whisk 1/4-1/2 cup Mixed Berry Jam into your favorite pre-prepared frosting to
add a fruity flavor twist!
