Tangy Beet Jam

Submitted by Dienia B.

"I was canning beets and didn't have any raspberry Jell-O, just strawberry. I thought, what the heck; tasted it and thought cinnamon was needed. Mine didn't gel much, to my mother-in-law's amusement, but it is a great pancake syrup, and it probably will gel for everyone else, lol, since she's teaching me to can and Czech cooking which is different for this Irish girl."
