"A recipe I have been using for years, this makes a wonderful jam not to mention super easy, use only ripe red berries for this! A few drops of red food coloring may be added to deepen the color, I suggest to run your glass jars through the dishwasher then cool them before filling with the jam "

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a bowl mash the berries using clean hands or a potato masher (a fork will work well also). In a medium saucepan stir the mashed berries with sugar, pectin and lemon juice (start with 2/3 cup of sugar and add in more to taste if needed) bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until thickened (about 5-6 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Store tightly covered in clean glass jars.
