What do you do when your berries start to turn in the fridge? I don't know about you, but I get so frustrated with how quickly organic berries can turn- it can create so much food waste without a back-up plan. This recipe is how I save my berries before they become indigestible. Here's what you'll need: 
​

Ingredients:
-Berries (I had about half a quart of organic strawberries right before they turned)
-Juice of 1 organic lemon
-Organic Sweetener (I usually use maple syrup, honey, or blue agave).


Directions:
  1. Mash or lightly blend berries and lemon juice together.
  2. Add sweetener of choice (this will depend on how many berries you have, I probably used 2 tablespoons for half a quart, and it left the jam just slightly tart).
  3. Put in a small, non-stick sauce pan and reduce on low-medium heat, stirring almost continuously, until it takes on a mildly gelatinous-type texture. Remove from heat and put in the fridge to cool and "gel."
  4. Enjoy on your favorite breads & grains! I personally like to put it on a whole grain toast with almond butter.

Servings: Varies- I had about 6!

This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, nut-free, soy-free, vegetarian, & vegan. It is suitable for most plant-based diets.
