A delightful homemade jam combining the tangy taste of berries with refreshing lime and mint.
Combine the frozen berries, lime juice, mint sprigs, sugar, and 1 cup of water in a saucepan.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the mixture from burning.
Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl until smooth.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Heat the berry mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to boil.
Stir constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Remove the mint sprigs from the berry mixture once the berries begin to soften.
Removing the mint at this stage prevents it from overpowering the jam.
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the berry mixture and continue cooking until the jam thickens.
Cook until the jam reaches your desired consistency, as it will thicken further upon cooling.
Let the jam cool and transfer it to a jar for storage.
Use a sterilized jar to extend the shelf life of the jam.
Serve the jam on toast, bagels, or as a topping for desserts.
Pair with cream cheese for a delightful combination.
