Huckleberry Jam Recipe?

[Rhyno]

Hey

Some huckleberries managed to make it past the kids mouths and into the bucket this past weekend. I know I can find lots of recipes by google, but does anyone have a tried and true jam recipe they wish to share?

thanks

Hell with Jam you should brew yourself some Huckleberry beer.

Wow, bunch of jam haters on here:-D I will remember your suggestions for the future, but promised the kiddos jam!

Just get some Bernardin original pectin and the recipe will be right on it.

I am telling you Huckleberry wheat ale extra yummy. I bet your kids would dive right in:-D

You can make jam old school, no pectin. Simply equal parts fruit and sugar and boil stirring frequently until some drizzled on a cold plate sets to the consistency you desire. Works with all fruits. ( posted by John's wife Tanya - I forgot to log him out and me in. )

I use the Bernadin recipe and it works just great.

For a jam that will maintain the full flavor of your top quality fruit and not dilute it with large quantities of sugar, I recommend that you seek out Pomona's Universal Pectin, which uses calcium, lemon juice, and low amounts of pectin and sugar or other sweeteners like honey, which is what I like to use. It also permits doubling or tripling the recipe, which doesn't work reliably with other pectins like Certo.

Just made some last night! This is the recipe I have always used

5 cups of berries
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 box of certo pectin crystals
5 cups of sugar
in large sauce pan stir together prepared fruit, lemon juice and pectin bring to a boil over high heat add all the sugar.

We all seem to like it:-D
