This Instant Pot Berry Jam is such an easy, delicious recipe! I love the sweet flavor of berries, and it couldn’t be simpler to make this healthy jam. (gluten-free, vegan)
Homemade jam is one of life’s simple pleasures. There’s no limit to the flavors you can put together, and it’s such a delicious reminder of summertime.
But babysitting jam while it cooks on the stove can be a bit much. That’s why I started making jam in my Instant Pot. It couldn’t be easier to make, and the house fills up with the most wonderful smell while the berries come to pressure.

I always add an apple to my homemade jam. Its high pectin level helps the jam to thicken, and it adds a nice flavor. This mixed berry jam is such a treat. The recipe yields 2 cups of jam, and it disappears quickly in my house!

Instant Pot Berry Jam
$.32 per serving
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 medium apple cored, peeled, and chopped
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions
-
Wash the berries and peel, core, and chop the apple. (If the strawberries are large, cut them in half.)
-
Place all the ingredients in the Instant Pot. Cover and turn the vent to Sealing.
-
Cook on manual high pressure for 1 minute. After the cook time, allow the pot to naturally release its pressure for 10 minutes. Then release the remaining pressure if needed and open the pot.
-
Mash the mixture to your desired texture. Set the pot to Saute and simmer it to thicken, stirring regularly (about 8 to 10 minutes). When it starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, it’s almost ready. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
-
Store in the refrigerator in sterilized pint jars for up to a couple weeks, or freeze for later use.

Can this be canned this way or do you need lemon juice or pectin if you want to can

I haven’t canned this recipe, so I’m not sure. You could check the Ball canning site to see if they have advice.

I really need to get myself a instant pot, as there looks like there is so much you can do with it.
Some chia seeds would be great in this too.
