Yield about 7 (1-cup) containers or 112 servings, 1 Tbsp, each

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups prepared fruit (buy about 2 qt. fully ripe boysenberries)
1/4 cup juice from 2 lemons
1 box MCP Pectin
4-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

Steps:

Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
Crush boysenberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Sieve half of the berries to remove seeds, if desired. Measure exactly 3 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Add lemon juice; mix well.
Stir pectin into prepared fruit in bowl. Let stand 30 min., stirring every 5 min. Gradually add sugar, stirring after each addition until well blended. Stir additional 3 min. or until most of the sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.
