GRAMMY'S INSTAPOT BERRY JAM
Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen mixed berries (I used 2-16oz bags of frozen fruit but can also use 2lbs fresh fruit)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Put your mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice into Instant Pot.
- Allow fruit to sit for 10 minutes, so the sugar can draw the juices from the fruit.
- Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to "sealing"
- Turn instant pot on by pressing your "manual" or "pressure cook" button and setting for 1 minute, followed by a 15 minute natural release.
- At the end of the 15 minute natural release, turn valve to "venting" to release any remaining pressure and allow the pin to drop. Once pin drops, remove the lid.
- Use a potato masher or immersion blender to smooth out the jam to your desired texture.
- Turn instant pot on "saute" and bring fruit mixture to a boil. Allow to boil for a couple minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together your corn starch and water into a slurry. Carefully pour slurry into the jam and using a whisk, blend slurry into jam until combined.
- Allow the jam to boil for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened.
- Turn of instant pot and pour jam into jars.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.....ENJOY!!
