I just love berries, and I just learned to make jam, and it is delicious - much better than even the finest store-bought! And it's easy!
I just followed the recipe on the PINK Sure-Jell package. Basically you use 5 cups of crushed berries, 4 cups sugar, 1 pkg PINK Sure-Jell and 1/2 tsp butter (to reduce foaming). You will need a jar funnel and a lid lifter, and of course, jars and lids (available at Winco).
I bought a flat of boysenberries at the local farmer's market, and 1/2 flat of raspberries at Costco. With the raspberries, it actually took an additional basket, for a total of 7 baskets. They are Driscoll brand, and hold less than a typical basket bought at a roadside stand. Problem is no one grows raspberries around here! The flat of boysenberries made 14 jars (1 cup each) and the raspberries made 7 jars (one I added an extra basket).
