Wild Black Cap Jam



Prepare jars and lids.

Bring water to a boil in a water bath canner

or a large pot with lid.

(Filled jars need to be covered by 1-2 inches of boiling water.)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

* Measure 5 cups of crushed/mashed Wild Black Caps (black raspberries) into a large, heavy pot

~

*Stir in one box of fruit pectin and 1/2 teaspoon butter

~

*Bring mixture to a full rolling boil while stirring

~

*Add 7 cups sugar (I use organic)

~

*Return mixture to a full boil and continue to STIR CONSTANTLY for

1 full minute

~

*Remove from heat and skim off any foam (to an awaiting saucer for

an awaiting child to enjoy ~ preferably with homemade bread!)

~

*Ladle into jars, wipe rims with damp cloth, cover with lids and bands and

process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

~

*Remove jars and place on a towel to cool

~

*Listen to the music of 9 jars of beautiful jam sealing!

Music to my ears!
