Fantastic jam! I added 3 c blueberries & 1 c raspberries instead & pureed the navel oranges. Also had close to 8 jelly jars.

This was my first time making jam and it came out fantastic! The only thing I would change is to puree the orange segments along with the blueberries and raspberries. I also ended up needing 8 half pint jars instead of six, but that was no problem with how good this jam is. I gave several jars away to family and got rave reviews from everyone that tried it. Will definitely make again.

This was amazing! I am going to make 3 batches next time - it doesn't last a long time in our home - our 5 kids lick it up! Easy too!
