Remove from heat and pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue.

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

Recipe Tips
When making preserves and jams, select slightly under-ripe, firm fruit.
Check doneness by dropping a small spoonful of jam onto a frozen plate. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes; if the jam appears to gel, it is ready. Continue cooking for another few minutes if the jam appears thin and runny.
