  2. Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed kettle.
  3. Add 4 cups sugar and stir to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Stir in 1 pouch (1 3/4 oz) liquid pectin and stir vigorously for 1 minute.
  7. Return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  8. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  9. Remove from the heat.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
  11. Immediately ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  12. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and adjust lids and rings.
  13. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Ensure jars are completely submerged in boiling water. Let jars cool completely in the canner before removing and checking for seals.
