Hull and chop the strawberries. Hull the raspberries and leave them whole. Finely chop the ginger. Place the strawberries, raspberries, and ginger in a bowl, add the lemon juice, and mix well. Place everything in a saucepan and turn the heat up to high. Add the gelling sugar and fruit juice and mix well. Bring to a boil once, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat until the mixture is just simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the fruit becomes a puree, then turn off the heat. If the puree is still too chunky for your taste, mash it with a regular potato masher. Remove from the heat, pour 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto a small plate, and check if the jam is no longer too runny. If so, add a little citric acid and stir in. Now pour the hot mixture into small jars (twist-off), seal immediately, and let cool. The cellar is still ideal for storage.
