A 1/2 teaspoon of margarine or butter will help decrease foaming.

This jam is wonderful. I have already made two batches and am getting ready for a third. Jam set-up perfectly and everyone loves it.

smell was wonderful and taste was great! one huge problem..it didn't "set" like the rest of my james and jellies have. i even cooked at a hard boil for more than a minute do to past experiences when a minute is definately not enough time at a hard boil...still didn't do it the second batch either..it's gonna make great pancake syrup!!! my intentions were to give "jam" in the gift baskets for Christmas though. and yes i checked over all the ingredients 3 times for the second batch because i didn't want the same thing to happen again. it did anyways...oh well! i'm giving a low rating due to it not setting the way it should have.
