Berry Preserves

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." - Maya Angelou

Freshly made berry preserves

Have you ever gone to the store or farmers market and attempted to track down either a no or low sugar berry jam of some sorts?  They don't exist anywhere.  Even at the farmers markets, bounce around to the different fruit stands and ask if they make any no or low sugar berry concoctions and you'll always get the same answer of, "We make that for ourselves and that's what we eat at home but we don't sell it, the sugar preserves it."

Alas, now you can stop hunting and just make it yourself.  Spoiler alert:  It's super easy to make.  Literally anyone can make this in a very short amount of time.  Without further ado, here's how you go about this:

What You Need:

-Edible Berries

-Water

-Saucepan

-Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)

What You Do:

1) Mash berries

2) Add berries to saucepan

3) Heat saucepan to medium heat

4) Add a cup of water to saucepan

5) Stir every few minutes and let it cook down to desired consistency

6) Add spoonful of honey or maple syrup if the taste is not to your liking (optional)

7) Add to jar

That's it!  That's literally all you do to make your own delicious, no or low sugar berry concoction that you can then spread on biscuits, toast, pancakes, waffles, eggs, salad, or anything else you want!

Is this technically considered a preserve or jam or spread or marmalade or reduction or something else entirely?  I don't have the slightest idea nor do I care.  If you do care, Professor ChatGPT can help you with sorting that out.  All I care about is that it's delicious, aside from that, you can call it whatever you want for all I care.

Boom!
