Step 1
1. I usually make sweet mountain ash berry jam at home from a kilogram of berries. You can use more, at a 1:1 ratio. To taste, I sometimes add lemon while the treat is simmering, and cinnamon.

2. Separate the berries from the stems and wash them thoroughly. Then soak them in cold water for one hour, or better yet for 24 hours (if you have time), so that all excess bitterness is drawn out.
