Ingredients
2 quarts of Hawthorn berries
1 quart Black Currants (*Black Currants are high in pectin and make a great addition to thicken any jam or jelly)
1 cup honey (or to taste)
Water to cover
Directions
- Place berries in a pot
- Cover with water (2 inches above the berries)
- Add honey
- Simmer until the mixture thickens (most of the liquid will be evaporated, and the jam will thicken quickly when on a spoon that has been removed from the heat)
- Run the mixture through a food mill to remove seeds and stems
- Place back in the pot add a quart of water and simmer again until the mixture is quite thick
- To can:
- Simmer canning jar lids
- Place mixture in clean canning jars
- Place lids on top
- Place jars in a canning kettle, and cover them with water (2 inches above the jar)
- Bring to a boil and boil for the appropriate time frame for the jar size: ½ pint 10 minutes, pints 15 minutes, quarts 20 minutes
