Made this today as I had so many berries from my garden. I used strawberries, rasberries, blueberries and marionberries. Followed the recipe except for a few minor steps - didn't mash the berries, cooking them seemed to do that just fine and I like bits of fruit in my jams and didn't use a pressure canner - used the hot water bath method and that worked fine. Love the flavor and appearance and will be making more of this when next I have a harvest big enough.
