- 1 box Sure-Jell Less or No Sugar Needed Recipes Fruit Pectin
- 3 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prepare and clean your jars. You will need 3-4 pint jars or a combination of jars that will allow for 6-7 cups of jam between them.

- Next, exactly measure 3 cups of sugar into a large saucepan. Add the box of Sure-Jell Less or No Sugar Recipes Fruit Pectin, and stir well until thoroughly mixed.
- Add 1 cup of water, stir, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat, and quickly stir in the smashed berries (all 4 cups at once) until thoroughly mixed.
- Next, quickly pour into prepared jars, making sure to leave at least ½-inch of space at the top of the container to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Let jars sit without lids until completely cooled.
- Once cooled, clean the tops, add the lids, and then allow jars or containers to sit out for 24 hours before freezing the jam.
- Jam can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or frozen for up to 1 year.
