Notes

  • If you don't have a thermometer, you can test a small amount of jam on a cold plate. Place a glass/ceramic plate in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Add a large spoonful of jam to the chilled plate and let it sit for a couple of minutes. The jam should set to a thick consistency, if it does not, simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Makes 2 ½ cups of jam. Nutrition information is for 1 tablespoon of jam.
