So last year we had a huge strawberry harvest and I decided to make some preserves with some left over blackberries from the year before. So I dumped my berries into a pot and started them on low heat
I grabbed a couple of jars of pectin, there are recipes on the inside of the label
I measured the required amount of pectin and dumped it into the berries
I slowly brought the mixture to a boil
I put the lids on simmer
I got the berry mixture to a rolling boil and skimmed off the scum every so often
I dumped in the specified amount of sugar
and brought it back up to a boil one last time
I assembled the required tools,
I used the funnel to fill the jars, leaving the required head space
using a paper towel I wiped down the rims of the jars good
Using my magnet I grabbed a lid from the simmering pan and positioned it on top of the jar
hand tightened a lid onto the jar
and set them in the water bath and brought it to a rolling boil for 15-20 minutes
I pulled them out and draped a towel over the jars to keep any cold drafts from hitting the jars and creating thermal shock that could cause the jars to break
all ready for the pantry
