Instructions
- 1 Inspect seven 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- 2 Crush berries in a bowl; transfer 1/2 to a sieve or cheesecloth to remove some seeds if desired. Place all berries in a large pot.
- 3 Stir in sugar; add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in pectin; return to a full boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim any foam with a metal spoon.
- 4 Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
- 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
- 6 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
