I just follow the directions in the sure-jell (pectin) pack. I think our recipe is 4 cups berry to 8 cups sugar and 1 pectin pack. <br /><br />prep/wash your jars, rings and lids. Put lids in small pan and boil (helps sealing)<br /><br />smash/mash your berries and then put all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a continuous rolling boil.<br /><br />fill jars, place lids and hand tighten rings. turn jars over for 5 minutes. After 5 minute turn upright and let sit until they pop.<br /><br />Good luck!The Lungoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566723476497553538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-3068951921402189052010-08-24T04:54:52.240-07:002010-08-24T04:54:52.240-07:00Yummy!

Check out allrecipes.com, they've got great ways to do that. And you don't have to have canning equipment to can. Get the right cans (at the grocery store), use your dishwasher, a big pot, and thongs.gvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702089938287377034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-70553493058348011472010-08-23T14:19:42.362-07:002010-08-23T14:19:42.362-07:00Ooh, let me know how this goes!

I've never made freezer jam, I always can mine, but I imagine it's the same process.<br /><br />You'll obviously need to get fruit pectin 2 packages. It says 1, but I always need 2 to make my jam set. and I believe it's 8 cups of blackberries to 4 cups of sugar. I always add in juice from 1 lemon. It's delicious.<br /><br />C hates the seeds in blackberries so he wont touch them, but he loves the flavor. So I make him blackberry pancake syrup which is to die for. <br /><br />good luck!Krystiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111861320192232321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-47533118264473571392010-08-23T09:23:52.269-07:002010-08-23T09:23:52.269-07:00yum!
