This was awesome!!!! By far my favorite recipe for jams. Can't wait to try again with flavored rum!

I made this recipe with what I had. 1 c starawberries, 1 c peaches. I used strawberry/kiwi juice instead of pineapple. I used passionfruit rum. I added a half cup more of sugar. It is awesome. I need to make many more batches of this stuff.

Absolutely delicious! It is tangy and sweet. I left out the rum and it turned out perfectly! This is definitely a recipe that breaks the mold when it comes to canned jam.

I really liked this. Flavor is 5 stars. I used a dark spiced rum and it lent a just-right subtle flavor. Complaints are that the fruit has floated to the top and going by the leftovers that I tasted, I think it has more of a "jel" texture than I'm used to. I suppose that is the sacrifice we have to make with such a small amount of sugar.
