Jam Recipe

2 cups frozen berries (I did raspberries & blueberries )

3/4 c sugar

2 tbs lemon juice

In a small pot boil berries , sugar , lemon juice .

In the beginning it will look very crumbly , but give it time it will all begin to combine keep in mind you must stir to make sure it doesn’t burn .

Boil for about 10 mins stirring consistently , the jam should start to slightly thicken .

After it is done take your pot off the heat and allow it to cool about 5-8 mins in the pot .

Once slightly cooled transfer to a glass jar and allow it to come to room temp . Then you will place it in the fridge !

If you don’t have the time for homemade jam this cookie works best with peach , raspberry , or blueberry jam . I haven’t tried any others so far but I’m sure blueberry would taste delicious too !!

ENJOY & follow for more 💛🥰
