enough of the reserved liquid to berries to make 4 cups.
Return berry puree to pan. Stir in orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar
until well blended. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring
contantly; then boil, stirring for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in
pectin all at once. Skim off any foam.
Ladle hot jam into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace.
Wipe rims and threads clean, seal, blah, blah, blah. Process for 5 minutes
in boiling water bath. Makes about 6 half pints.
