Christmas Jam

Source of Recipe

"Nana" to Bubbe & Alex

2 (20-0z.) pkg. of whole frozen strawberries
1 lb. of fresh cranberries
5 lbs. sugar (11 cups)
2 pouches (3 oz. each) liquid pectin
14 to 15 half pint jelly jars

Wash and sterilize jars (boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes).
Keep the jars in the pot to stay warm until ready to fill.
Grind the strawberries and cranberries in a food processor.
Place the berries into a large kettle or stockpot. Add the sugar.
Bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that can't be stirred down).
Add the 2 pkgs. of liquid pectin and bring back to a boil and boil
for 1 minute. Pour into jelly jars.
You can seal the jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15
minutes. Or you can do like I do...I put on the lids and seals and
turn upside down for 5 minutes then turn right side up again...this
has always sealed the jars for me.
