- Add all ingredients into a heavy pot or saucepan and stir together.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture.
- Test the jam on a small ceramic plate that has been in the freezer for 20 minutes to see if it's too runny or just right.
