3 qts. or 6 c. red raspberries or strawberries
1 pkg. pectin
8 c. sugar (previously measured)
1 c. water
1/4 c. lemon juice (strawberries only)

Clean and wash berries and add 1 cup water. Heat to boiling to break down pulp; the procedure may be aided by using a masher. Strain raspberries through colander to remove seeds. Removal of seeds not required for strawberries.

Place measured 6 cups of pulp in kettle and add pectin (and lemon juice, in case of strawberries).

Place on burner at 450 degrees and add sugar while stirring. Time accurately for 4 minutes. Foaming may be reduced by addition of 1 teaspoon of butter, butter or oil. Remove from burner and fill jars. Will need eleven 8 ounce jars, sterilized in advance. Seal with 2 pc. lids or paraffin.
