I had NO IDEA what to do and, following your amazing directions, we made delicious jam (and it came out so well, we were so proud, we even gave some as gifts!) Thank you!! UPDATE: This year, we've discovered LIQUID PECTIN which has made the process so much easier even, no clumps!!! Thanks again!

My simple way is wash off the fruit, cover in a pot with water + about 1 inch, bring to a boil and then reduce to a rolling but not aggressive boil. When all fruit are 'green', maybe 1-2 hours later, remove the spent fruit and filter through cheese cloth. Then bring to a boil, add lemon or citric acid powder, sugar if you like, and then pectin (sugar 'free' or regular). Then sterilize jars, seal and be done. Nice video, basically good stuff.

Any way to make the jelly "smoother"?

Hello!! I am not sure why the color was different for you. Mine has come out light only when I don’t pick really ripe fruit. Also, the bubbles can be avoided if you give it a few minutes before pouring it in the jars so it will settle some. It usually works for me. Good luck!!!

Trisha Jameson I don’t think the size of the jar changes anything as far as the recipe goes.
