Recipe Instructions
Step 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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
