The flavour combination is delicious and the colour is so pretty... this will go on my annual list of must-do's. I changed the recipe to accomodate the fact that all i had was powdered pectin. I prepared the fruit with lemon juice as directed, then combined it with the pectin in a soup pot and brought to a boil. Then I added the sugar (I cut it down to 6 cups), brought to a boil and held at a hard boil for one minute. I was very careful to skim and stir for a good 5-minute cooldown period before jarring it ("To Prevent Floating Fruit"). It's a soft set, which is just how i like my jam. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
