Summer Berry + Moscato Jam is bursting with ripe fruit and a sweet undercurrent that is distinctly moscato. Make this for a celebratory brunch…or anytime you’re feeling a little festive.
3cupsmixed berries, any combination, dice strawberries if using
1¾cupsgranulated sugar
½cupMoscato D'Asti
2½tablespoonfruit pectin, regular / original
2tablespoonlemon juice
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Use a potato masher to crush the berries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Allow it boil for 1 minute then reduce the heat to medium (or slightly below) and continue to simmer for 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the fruit from sticking to and burning on the bottom of the saucepan. (Adjust the heat up or down as needed to ensure a vigorous simmer without boiling over.)
Pour the jam into a bowl to cool. It will continue to set up and thicken. Transfer to a jar or airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
To know when it's done, dip a metal spoon in the jam. It should be thick enough that it doesn't completely run off the spoon. Let it cool enough to touch and drag your finger across the back of the spoon. If it leaves a clean trail and doesn't fill back in, it's likely done.Makes about 1-3/4 cups.
