Recipe Notes
You’ll need 2 x 1 cup (250ml) capacity sterilised jars for this recipe. To sterilise jars, preheat oven to 120°C/100°C fan-forced. Wash jars and non-plastic lids in soapy water, rinse and dry well. Place on a tray and leave in oven until completely dry. Fill jars while still hot.
You can use up any combination of berries and seasonal stone fruit you have at home.
This conserve can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
