SPICEY BLUEBERRY PEACH JAM
3 cups crushed/mashed blueberries
2 cups cut up/mashed peaches
1pkg. regular Sure Jell
1tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
7 cups sugar
Stir all but sugar together in large kettle. Bring to a full boil that cannot be stirred down. Add sugar all at once and bring back to a full boil stirring constantly. Boil for 1minute and remove from heat. Skim off foam and seal in jelly jars. Makes 6-8 jars.
It is not necessary to water bath jam and jelly. I put my jars in a 9x13 cake pan in a 200 degree oven for apprx. 5 minutes to heat them up before filling them. After all the lids and rings are on, turn jars upside down for just 5 minutes on wooden board. Turn them back over again, and they start to seal right away. It isn't even necessary to heat the jars in the oven, but that's how I do all my jars so it's just a habit!!
