Roughly 3 cups of crushed blackberries
Roughly 1 cup crushed strawberries
1/4 cup lemon juice
1.75 oz powdered pectin
About 3/4 cup (8 smallish) minced hot peppers, half seeded
About 1 tsp crushed red pepper (from pizza delivery)
About 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
6 cups organic sugar.
(I'm not going to include processing info- refer to the Ball or Better Homes and Gardens Canning Books or foodinjars.com for processing info.)
Thaw and crush berries. Add peppers, lemon juice, pectin and bring to a boil. Add sugar, bring to a boil again, stirring constantly. Cook for a few minutes ( I may have overdone it- again- I did about 4 minutes), stirring constantly.
I got 4 half-pints and 6 quarter-pints. Taste-testing of what remained in the pan indicates a sweet, complex jam with a nice, slight burn on the back of the taste. I'll see how it develops.
