Homemade Jam, the French Way...

Step 2Toss It in a Pot and Add Some Sugar.

Toss It in a Pot and Add Some Sugar.
Unlike chef Arbor, I do not have an orchard, or even a balcony garden at my disposal (but I just may tackle the latter one day), and I've substituted the fresh fruit for a frozen bag of mixed berries. In my opinion, very little taste has been lost in the alteration. The steps are the same, except that the frozen berries have enough moisture in them that water is not needed and will only make more of a berry soup than jam.

The frozen fruit is a great idea. For one you can get a mixed bag as you suggest for a delicious flavor. Secondly, frozen fruits are actually fresher than store bought fresh fruit because they are picked when ripe then frozen. "Fresh" fruit is picked before it is ripe so it's not actually ripe when you get it, more like aged off the tree, vine, bush, whatever.

very true. for example bananas are picked when green and ripen during shipping. they sometimes spray them with chemicals to prolong/hasten the ripening until they get to where they're going... icky
not to mention the cost difference between fresh and frozen berries D=
