Berry Jam

2 boxes frozen thawed berries or 2 C thoroughly mashed fresh berries
2 T lemon juice
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 box dry pectin

Crush the berries with a fork and add lemon juice.
Place berries in a 3-4 qt. sauce pan on medium low heat.
Sift the pectin in slowly, stirring constantly so it will dissolve as you go.
Remove from heat when sugar appears dissolved. Do Not boil.
Allow to stand several hours before bottling. Stir occasionally.
Bottle and freeze.
After it has been frozen it may be stored in the refrigerator.

To bottle and wax
Boil 2 minutes.
Try other combinations: Peach and raspberry. Strawberry and rhubarb.
