Step 2
In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the fruit, sugar, and pectin, stirring gently. Gradually increase the burner temperature. As soon as the mixture begins to bubble, at around 200°F, set a timer for 5 minutes and stir in large circular motions, always in the same direction. After 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let the jam cool in the pan for 15 minutes before pouring it into glass jars or other containers.
