Certo is the pectin brand I use and they have a great recipe leaflet inside their boxes here is the jams that i typically make!
INGREDIENTS
- Certo Light Pectin 1 Box
- Fruit (strawberries) 4 1/2 Cups
- Sugar 7 Cups
- Canning Jars, Sealers, and Lids
PROCESS
- Mix Fruit and Pectin Crystals in Pot and bring to boil on High Heat.
- Add Sugar
- Boil again for 1 min
- Stir and Skim with no heat for 5 min
- Pour directly into Jars and seal immediatly
- set on counter with cloth over top until all the lids have popped (DO NOT PUSH THE LIDS IN THEY MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY)
- Leave for at least 24 Hours at Room Temp so the Jam has time to set.
If I am making a strawberry rhubarb jam I subtract one cup of the strawberries and replace with one cup of rhubarb instead.
Generally I am making much more than one batch of this recipe in which case I double or triple the recipe at times and have had no problems yet!
