YUMMY! I'm originally a New Jersey kid, too. This was easy and delicious (even if I had to use Michigan blueberries!!!)

Loved the flavor combination! After consulting with Dee514 we realized that it should be 3 pkgs of gelatin and it worked well. She has since corrected the error, but it hasn't been printed yet. Just add the 3 pkgs instead of 2 and you will have some great jam to spread on your breakfast toast. It's a keeper. Carole in Orlando
