This recipe is great for using up soft fruit past its best, but not when it’s gone so far that it has reached the mouldy stage! This fruit jam is more like a compote than a normal jam and needs to be eaten within a few days. It's quick to make and is lovely served with scones, on toast, mixed into yogurt or spooned onto ice cream.
