When sour cherries and red raspberries are in season, I always freeze some with this recipe in mind. I've been making jams and jellies for years, and friends and family agree this is the best I make. —Lenora McCulley, Reedsville, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups finely chopped or ground sour cherries (about 1-1/2 pounds)
  • 2 cups red raspberries
  • 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
  • 5 cups sugar

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, combine cherries and raspberries; stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir 1 minute.
