Notes
- Fruit: You can use this recipe with any type of fruit that is juicy. I love to make berry jam, bur feel free to make the kind of jam you love. If you use larger fruits, cut them into smaller pieces before making the jam.
- Sweetener: The amount of maple syrup you'll need depends on how sweet the fruit you use is. Feel free to add more or less maple syrup to taste!
