Jammin!

I established my love of black raspberries, and the best way to have that flavor year round?  Make them into Jam!

This stuff is Nectar of the Gods!!

I ended up with 38 jars of deliciousness!

My Raspberry Jam

8 cups raspberries
8 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
 2/3 cup Pectin (I use Pacific Pectin)

Mix all in a large pot, turn heat on medium until the sugar and berries and pectin are combined.  Bring to a rapid boil, boil 3 minutes, turn off heat, check with jam on a spoon to make sure it's jelling like you like. If it is, ladle into sterilized jars and seal.  If it's not, turn the heat back on, add another 1/3 cup pectin and bring to a boil again.  Let boil 2 minutes, turn heat off, check after 20 minutes or so for jell.
