- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

- Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in pectin.
- Return to boil and cook for one minute more.
- Remove from heat, skim foam.
- Jar: Funnel hot jam immediately into hot, sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; adjust two-piece metal canning lids.
- Process: Place completed jars in a Boiling Water Canner on full boil for 10 minutes (or recommendations based on your altitude).
