A 1.59 oz package produces 5 8oz jars of jam. This package calls for 1.5 cups of sugar and 4 cups crushed fresh fruit (about 4 1lb packs of fresh strawberries). <br /><br />I didn't have quite enough fresh fruit so I added some frozen mixed berries (rasberry and blackberries) to equal a total of 4 cups fruit crushed. <br /><br />You can tweak it a little I've found - having more "juice" from the crushing gives you a runnier version - which I like (almost pourable but not quite). Great over hotcakes! <br /><br />Good luck!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176176787021349942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673274713863547043.post-6030322631187099652010-07-11T13:19:52.208-04:002010-07-11T13:19:52.208-04:00To Jill:

As with all canning if you are following a recipe that utilizes packaged pectin, it is critical to follow the amounts precisely. Ball produces excellent cookbooks(can be found at Walmart etc) and every package of pectin provides instructions for both methods.There is nothing better than preserving your own fruits/vegetables... enjoy the process and the results!!!!elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673274713863547043.post-62613219849404825862010-07-08T17:49:53.354-04:002010-07-08T17:49:53.354-04:00How much sugar and how much pectin did you use?
