This recipe sounds perfect for making in my bread machine which has a Jam setting. I’ve canned jams before and made mixed berry using, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries........you can mix it up as long as you keep the ratios of fruit to sweetener and other ingredients correct. I will follow up post once I make and see if it’s a keeper. You can use frozen unsweetened fruit that would definitely more economical and accessible especially in the winter months.
