6 1/2 cups loganberries, crushed
1 box of pectin
1/4 teaspoon butter {I used unsalted}
8 1/2 cups sugar
Directions
Bring a boiling-water canner, 3/4 full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
Stir pectin into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil {a boil that doesn’t stop bubbling when stirred} on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 4 min., stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladel immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads.
After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.}
Keep Calm and Jam On,

Hi Mavis,
Where do you get those squatty canning jars? They are adorable and look easy to get into.

Hi Teresa, they are sold in a 4-pack at Target and online at Amazon.com –> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V5KVDU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000V5KVDU&linkCode=as2&tag=100dollarsamo-20&linkId=PAYHUZTHMDTCKGJI

I’ve never heard of Loganberries! I’ll have to look into getting some. I did, however, make up a batch of Raspberry Jam today…and I have to agree…eating it with a spoon is an awesome way to enjoy it!
