A great houseparty!

Last night, my friend Ana had a great "Discover You Can House Party" by Jarden Home Brands.  We made Strawberry Jam with original pectin, and a great jam (Honey Lime Mango Berry Swirl Jam) with the Ball Instant Pectin.

Here is the recipe:

Honey Lime Mango Berry Swirl Jam


By Susan S. of Fernandina Beach, Florida
Featuring Ball® RealFruit™ Instant Pectin
Makes about 10 (8 oz) half pints
You will need:

  • 3 cups sugar, divided

  • 10 Tbsp Ball® RealFruit™ Instant Pectin, divided

  • 3-1/2 cups crushed mango

  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, divided

  • 1/2 cup honey, divided

  • 3-3/4 cups crushed mixed berries (any combo of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries)

  • 10 Plastic Ball® (8 oz) Freezer Jars (or tupperware)


Directions:
1.) STIR 1-1/2 cups sugar and 5 Tbsp instant pectin in a bowl until well blended. Add mango, 1-1/2 Tbsp lime juice and 1/4 cup honey. Stir 3 minutes.
2.) STIR remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar and 5 Tbsp instant pectin in a bowl until well blended. Add mixed berries, remaining 1-1/2 Tbsp lime juice and remaining 1/4 cup honey. Stir 3 minutes.
3.) TILT jar, one at a time, pouring about 1/2 full with one flavor freezer jam. Keeping jar tilted, spoon second flavor on other side of jar. Repeat for remaining jars.
4.) TWIST on lids. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 1 year.
