      "Brackleberry Jam is the Cormyrean moniker for a spread made from a medley of freshly foraged wild berries—one that has earned notoriety throughout the multiverse. While the Cormyr version utilizes strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, and even currants, all iterations of this well-traveled recipe call for fresh blueberries and sugar to properly flavor the mixture. A spritz of lemon and a dash of salt help to not only preserve the mash for canning but brighten the overall experience on the palette. Brackleberry Jam is as common as butter in the forest-heavy country of Cormyr, where its topography and climate yield an abundance of seasonal berries so plentiful they colorfully adorn the region's roads and trails. This jam spreads well on almost any warm loaf or muffin. In the Feywild, the berries are not only more bountiful but also more flavorful, resulting in an exquisite local variety of Brackleberry Jam."

    "Place a small plate in the freezer to chill.",
    "In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt and bring to a strong boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue boiling for 5 minutes to soften the berries. Remove from the heat and, using a large slotted spoon or handheld potato masher, mash the berries thoroughly. Return to medium-high heat and continue to boil until the mixture is reduced and slightly thickened, just verging on a jammy consistency, 15 to 18 minutes longer.",
    "Remove the plate from the freezer and drop about 1 teaspoon of the jam on it. Wait about 15 seconds and then run your finger through the jam. If it leaves a clean trail, the jam is done. If the jam runs back into the trail, return the plate to the freezer, turn the heat to medium, simmer the jam for 2 to 4 minutes longer before retesting. When the jam is done, transfer it to a heatproof jar and set aside to cool to room temperature (it will thicken as it cools). Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks."
