Any combination of fresh or frozen summer fruits totaling 4 cups (after being crushed or mashed) will work. Use half strawberries for a very pretty dark red color. Make the spread with a greater proportion of cherries and blueberries for a deep purple color – equally tasty.” (Note: You may substitute frozen fruit. Just thaw and mash.)

Ingredients

2 cups crushed fresh strawberries

1 cup crushed fresh peaches

1/2 cup crushed fresh blueberries

1/2 cup crushed fresh sweet cherries

1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered pectin

2 cups honey

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Ladle into sterilized jars, seal, and process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
