1. Prepare the Fruit
Add the strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, lemon juice, and water to a large saucepan. Lightly crush some of the fruit with a potato masher while leaving some pieces whole.
2. Add the Spices
Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
3. Add the Sugar
Add the sugar gradually, stirring constantly until it dissolves completely.
4. Add the Pectin
Stir in the powdered pectin. Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil and cook according to the pectin package directions, stirring constantly.
5. Check the Consistency
Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam sit for a few minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
6. Fill the Jars
Spoon the hot jam into clean jars, leaving the appropriate headspace for your chosen storage method. Allow it to cool.
For refrigerator jam, cover and refrigerate once cooled.

For shelf-stable canning, use a tested canning recipe and the processing instructions for your specific pectin rather than relying on a simple “fill and seal” method.
