Cooked Strawberry Raspberry Jam
 
 
This jam is made using Pomona's Universal Pectin. It was recommended to me as this pectin requires much less sugar than the others. You can also use honey as your sweetener. Because I used this pectin, you will see a call for calcium water. This calcium packet comes with the Pomona's pectin.
