There is no better feeling than to be able to provide for one’s family from Mother Nature. This recipe is quick, easy and tasty

HOW TO MAKE Ingredients

• 4 cups saskatoons

• 3 cups sugar

• 1/4 cup water

• Juice and grated peel of 1/2 lemon

Instructions Crush the saskatoons in a large saucepan. Leave some closer to whole than completely crushed to give the jam a little bit of texture. Heat the berries on a medium heat until the juice starts to come from them.

Add sugar and the water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once to a boil, add the lemon juice and the lemon peel. Bring to a boil again and cook, stirring until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rims thoroughly. Seal and process in a water bath for 10 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.
