My mom came up the other day to help me organize my closets. Who does that but your mom? We had some time afterwards, so we decided to make jelly\jam. I am glad that I am taking advantage of the time I get to spend with her. This is super easy to do and a great gift idea.

| My mom chopped up the berries to make it easier to squish. |
 |
| I squished up the berries with a spaghetti spoon. A potato masher is recommended, but we didn't have one. |
 |
| Mix sugar and fruit pectin, see box picture below. |
 |
| Add water and bring to a boil. This is the part I really had to pay attention to. When it gets boiling, stir for a minute and then take of the heat. |
 |
| Add berries and mix in sugar\pectin mixture. I put it in measuring cup that makes it easier to pour. |
 |
| I add some extra baby food jars laying around from another project I did last year. Don't fill all the way to the top if you are planning to freeze the jelly. |
