1 large box jello (strawberry, cherry or raspberry)

Preparation

I make many jams and jellies and do not like to use a lot of sugar.
I also use wild berries, sometimes some that are unusual enough that there are no recipes, or it is hard to collect a lot. For those reasons, I have developed methods of making jellies without the commerical pectins that require exact amounts of berries and sugar.
With these directions I can also invent exciting new kinds of jams such as Blueberry-Banana and Cran-Raspberry (two of my favorites).
Some fruits do not require pectin.
Some require only a little.
Here are some ways to find out how much pectin is already in your fruit:
