Have eight ½-pint canning jars clean and sterilized (I use the dishwasher) and ready to go with lids and bands.
Combine berries and sugar in a 4 ½ to 5-quart heavy-bottomed pan.
Set in a sunny spot and stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium to low heat.
Stir regularly and skim the foam off as it forms on the surface of the liquid throughout the cooking period.
Approximately 10 to 15 minutes after it has come to a boil, the watery liquid will thicken and the sound of the boil will change.
Ladle jam into sterilized and warm ½ pint canning jars up to about ¼" from the rim.
Clean the rims with a paper towel wet with hot water, and immediately set lids on. Screw bands tightly.
If any jars don’t form a seal, refrigerate and use these first.
