simple homemade berry jam

I made this suuuuper simple berry jam over the weekend as a waffle topping.  This recipe is more like a guide - you can use any berries you have on hand.  Right now is the season for berries - they are so sweet you don't need to add in any extra sugar....unless, of course you want extra sugar, which is fine.

Yesterday I bought a bunch of perfect raspberries and strawberries and plan on whipping up another batch of this jam today.

berry jam
-3 cups of berries {for this one I used strawberries and blueberries}
-a tablespoon of lemon juice
-a few tablespoons of honey {if you want it extra sweet}

Put all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 30-45 minutes. The fruit will reduce and the mixture will become thick and syrupy.  

Eat on toast, waffles, pancakes, ice cream, etc.  The leftovers will last for a few weeks in the refrigerator.
