I used the recipe in the Ball Blue Book of Canning (the new one-400 recipes-canner heaven!). The only difference is the pectin. They called for powdered so that's what I went with. I also used the optional 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans(after adding pectin boil hard 1 minute, add nuts. Add sugar, boil hard for 1 minute, skim off foam). It's a sweet jam with a lovely light amber color. It is also very YUMMY! I'm going to gift the jars this Christmas, which means I have to hide them from myself for a few more months. Thanks for posting your recipe! I'm always glad when a jam has both pectin options. Di

    I used the powder pectin, added extra cimmamon/less clove and the jam came out wonderful. The 2nd batch I cut the sugar back to 5 cups, added roasted walnuts and dried cranberries-jelled perfect and tasted fantastic!

    My mom made this about two weeks ago. A little on the sweet side, but DELICIOUS!!! We mix it with cream cheese and spread it on whole wheat crackers!! Yummy! :P
