Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh or canned Cloudberries or Bakeapples
  • 125 g sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g ) water if berries are fresh

Instructions

  • Place berries into a heavy pan; heat gently until juice starts to flow
  • Add sugar and water (if necessary – canned berries will have enough juice); bring to a boil, stirring constantly
  • Cook, stirring frequently until thickened (8-10) minutes
  • Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch (6 mm) head space; wipe jar rims thoroughly
  • Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes or store in refrigerator for up to 3 months

Notes

Stir very gently to preserve some whole berries in the jam.
