Very Berry Preserve (no sugar!)
2 cups chopped berries and/or cherries
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup cranberries (instead of pectin*)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup cranberries (instead of pectin*)
Juice of 1 lemon
Bring berries and honey to a boil, then simmer for 5 mins. While simmering, use a fork to mash berries to either a chunky or smoother consistency depending on what you like best. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
Let your preserve cool and store in refrigerator.
* Pectin is a soluble fiber used to help jams and jellies thicken. Cranberries do the same job, yet they are not processed and are filled with additional nutrients.
