Free food & cooking tip: Macerate berries with sugar and lemon (step 3 of 11 from "Jam, Fruit Salad, and Fresh Juice in One Afternoon").
In the wide pot: 600 g mixed berries (halve large strawberries), 400 g sugar, juice of one lemon. Stir and rest 30 minutes until syrup pools at the bottom. This dissolves sugar and draws juice — skipping macerate gives gritty jam.
If berries are very sweet summer fruit, use 350 g sugar; if tart or underripe, 400 g is correct. Do not add water. The fruit is the liquid.
