What's in 2-Ingredient Refrigerator Jam?

All you need for this refrigerator jam is honey and your favorite berries. Use berries from your garden, or make a trip to the farmers market. Make sure you use a mild or amber honey without additional flavoring. Wash your berries thoroughly before making the spread, and use a clean container to store the cooled jam in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Test Kitchen Tip: For a seedless jam, strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before cooling; discard seeds.

What Berries Work Best for Refrigerator Jam?

All berries will work for this refrigerator jam, but you may find the best texture from fruits moderate to high in natural pectin. Blackberries and strawberries have more pectin than blueberries and will set up slightly thicker once cooled. Create your own unique combination by mixing your favorite berries from the farmers market for a multi-berry spread.
