Tree Nut Free Mixed Berry Jam
Bright, jewel-toned, and bursting with real fruit flavor, this mixed berry jam is the kind of thing that makes a plain piece of toast feel like a treat. It comes together in a single saucepan with just a handful of wholesome ingredients — fresh or frozen berries, honey, lemon, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon that adds warmth without overpowering the fruit. Store-bought jams can be a minefield of unexpected additives, but here you know exactly what's going in the jar. The honey keeps things naturally sweet while the lemon juice and zest brighten every spoonful, and that cinnamon finish gives it a subtle depth that sets it apart from anything off the shelf. You get to choose your texture too — mash it smooth for a classic spread or leave it chunky and rustic for something with a little more character. Once it cools and sets, it's ready to go straight into the fridge and onto everything from biscuits to yogurt to a cheese board.
