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

Number Of Ingredients 6

2-1/4 cups prepared fruit (buy about 3 pt. fully ripe strawberries)
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
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.
