Mix well and let stand 4 hours or overnight:
Bring to a hard boil in a large stock pot. (It boils up) Reduce heat to medium, skim off 'foam' for immediate taste treat! Boil 10 minutes.
Add:
Mix until well dissolved and bring to a boiling point again. Remove from heat and let set a few minutes. Stir again. Put in sterilized jars or freezer containers and keep in refrigerator or freezer.
The fun of this recipe is the options you can use! I've mixed strawberries with raspberries, made peach jam, sweet cherry jam, and changed it up with the flavors of gelatin. Used this recipe for 10 years, haven't made a batch that my large family hasn't loved. The cookbook says to try it with grapes, or rhubarb also, but haven't tried that yet.
Can be enlarged easily.

do you store it in Freezer or Frig once its done
and how long can you store it?
I would like to try this it sounds good!
You can use freezer containers and freeze, or it will keep a pretty long time in the frig. I'm not really sure cuz my family uses it up pretty fast.
This sounds so easy. These days thats what I'm all about. But I am diabetic. Can splenda be used to replace the sugar?
Can this be put in freezer bags? I don't have a lot of containers for freezer, or freezer space. Thanks in advance!
You might be better off to make a single batch and store it your fridge, or do the 'canning' with hot sterilized jars and lids, etc. See the earlier post. KLJohn
