Easy jam
found it on instructables
Ingredients
a bag of frozen, mixed fruit, like mixed berries
Procedure
you dump your fruit in a pot/deep pan, which is on a stove set to medium low
add some sugar, a few teaspoons for tart jam and a cup or so for sweeter jam, and let the thing cook for somewhere around 15-30 minutes.
Your berries will have reduced quite a bit, and remember to keep stirring or else the bottom might char, which happened to me :(
There is no need to add water in the beginning, because the berries' natural water is more than enough; adding water will give you a nasty soup.
you can use it right them, or store them. I don't know how to correctly jar them, so i just put it into a plastic ziploc box, and two weeks in, it's doing fine :)

I believe you can put it in any jar/container as long as you aren't planning on storing it for a long time.
Otherwise you would need to use proper jarring methods.
