Triple Berry Preserves
What it is
This is a sweet spread made from a blend of three different types of berries. It typically contains strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, cooked down with sugar until thickened. The combination of berries creates a complex fruity flavor with a balance of tartness and sweetness. It has a smooth, spreadable consistency, perfect for topping various foods. The preserves are sealed in a jar for freshness.
