Strawberry Blueberry Jam

Strawberry Blueberry Jam

8 cups strawberries, chopped
4 cups blueberries, crushed
6 cups sugar
6 tsp
Pomona pectin
6 tsp calcium water

Properly prepare jars, lids and rings.

Combine pectin with a small amount of sugar. Set aside. Combine berries and remaining sugar in large stockpot. Allow to sit for a few minutes. Crush berries to desired consistency. I used an immersion blender to liquefy about half of them and let the other half chunky. Add calcium water to pan and stir well.

Bring fruit to a boil. Add the pectin/sugar mixture and stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes to dissolve the pectin.

Fill jars to 1/4". Process in a BWB for 10 minutes.
