Add the finely ground peeled apples to the bowl with the berries.

Add sugar to the bowl and mix well; let the mixture stand for 10 minutes.

Add fresh lemon juice and liquid fruit pectin to the bowl; stir vigorously for 3 minutes until the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Cover the containers with tight-fitting lids.
