A few people have asked me and my mom for the tasty Jam recipes that we used to make our wedding jams. Sadly, We didn't really write down recipes for any of them, but I can tell you we followed the same pattern each time.
4 cups fruit
1 cup fruit juice
1-3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice(depending on the acidity of the fruit...You want enough acid to prevent botulism)
3 Tablespoons Pectin (this is less than the recipe on the jar calls for!)
1 1/2 cup sugar
Here is the Recipe for those who want an 'accurate' recipe for the "Favorite".
2 Cups Apricots (pitted and diced)
2 Cups Nectarines (peeled, pitted and diced)
1 Cup "Simply Naked" Orange + Mango Juice
3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
3 Tablespoons Pectin
Put ALL of the above ingredients in a kettle. Stir. Bring to a boil. Let boil for abour 2 minutes
Then add 1 1/2 cups sugar. Keep stirring. Bring back to a boil and let boil for another minute.
Then Jar into jars.
After jarring, put in a hot water bath and boil for 5 minutes, then remove from water and let rest on the counter. Listen for the 'sealing' pop! Then Enjoy!
love love love the jams
