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

Number Of Ingredients 4

3-1/4 cups prepared fruit (buy about 2 pt. fully ripe raspberries and 1-1/2 lb. fully ripe peaches)
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 raspberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Press half the pulp through sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Measure exactly 1-1/4 cups prepared raspberries into large bowl. Peel and pit peaches. Finely chop or grind fruit. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared peaches into bowl with raspberries. 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.
