"I picked a bunch of elderberries and wanted to make a jam. I had little bits of all kinds of fruits. It really turned out well and I wanted to remember next year how I did it. The sugar is a guess because I did it by taste when I was cooking. This is good to drink before adding pectin and would be good for fruit dumplings. It has a long cooking time but I don't want to be accused of not enough; when the fruit is done it's done. Yield 13 pints, This made 26-1/2 pints for me"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the elderberries and seeded grapes with enough water to cover, until mushy and well cooked, about 1 hour is how long I cooked it. Remove mixture and put through strainer. Put juice back into pot. Add sugars. Stir and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Add rest of fruit. Cook down until mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the Sure-Jell and two packages of Jell-O. Cook on low, stirring as needed, for another hour. If water gets too low add more.
Step 4
When thickened enough, pour into 1/2 pint jars and seal.
