Home-Canned Raspberry Jam

Home-Canned Raspberry Jam
Makes eleven 6-ounce jars

Ingredients:
2 quarts red raspberries
7 cups sugar
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin
1 box canning wax

Directions:
1. Select the best raspberries and wash them. Crush with a potato masher, leaving some pieces intact. Measure 4 cups; if there isn't enough, mash more berries or add water.
2. Add the sugar and mix. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil 1 full minute, stirring constantly.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the pectin. Skim off the foam.
4. Pour into hot, sterilized jars or glasses, leaving about 1/2 inch of room for the wax.
5. Melt enough wax to cover the top of each jar and pour it over the jam, making sure it touches the edges all the way around. Label for gift giving.
