I cant get enough of this jam. Its so simple and my kids eat it by the spoonful. We use it on pancakes, sandwiches, in yogurt, etc. The last time I made it the kids wanted to try frozen cherries so we did half raspberries and half cherries and it turned out great. I’m gonna try some blueberries next 🙂
I love the idea of trying out different types of fruit with this recipe! I’m so glad you all have been enjoying it! Thank you!
This jam was super easy to make! I used frozen raspberries so cooked it a little bit longer. I used this in the raspberry oatmeal bars and they came out so tasty! I’ll have to try this recipe with other berries too.
Hi Heather! I’m so glad the jam was easy to make and that you enjoyed it in my raspberry oatmeal bar recipe! Thanks so much for letting me know. 🙂
