Mixed Berry Jam

2 pints strawberries, cut up and pulsed in blender, not pureed
3 pints of mixed berries such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.
7 c. sugar
1 package of pectin

Measure fruit into a saucepan. Crush berries with a potato masher until desired consistency. Stir sugar into fruit. Add 1/2 t. butter or margarine to control foaming. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to full boil and boil exactly 1 minute. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam with a spoon.

Ladle into HOT prepared jars to within 1/8 inch from top. Wipe jars and threads. Cover with lids. Invert on a towel for 5 minutes. Turn right side up after that. Check seals after they have cooled. Store.
