How to cook deliciously - Salmonberry Jam
1 . Stage
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.
2 . Stage
Crush berries. Place 1/2 crushed fruit into sieve or cheesecloth to remove some seeds if desired. Transfer all berries to a large pot.
3 . Stage
Stir in sugar and 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.
4 . Stage
Skim off any foam with metal spoon. Ladle quickly into the prepared jars, filling within 1/8 inch of tops. 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.
5 . Stage
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 at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
6 . Stage
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 area for up to 1 year.
