Combine all ingredients in a large pot and mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Simmer 30 minutes or until mixture is thick.

While jam is simmering, sterilize about 4 one-cup canning jars in a 210ºF oven for 20 minutes. Put lids and rings into a small pot of water and bring to a boil.

When jam is ready, stir and cool it slightly. Then ladle it into the hot jars and immediately affix the hot lids and rings. Cover with a cloth until cool. Any extra jam can be put in a container in the fridge for immediate use.

Some directions suggest putting the jars in a 10 minute boiling water bath, but I find they preserve well if you take care to enure all the jars and lids are sterile and hot.
