Mixed Fruit Red Jam
"I made this for my dad, wanting to use a "lighter" recipe with less sugar, but without artificial sweetener. I think it turned out very good. I followed the directions under "cooked jams" from the Certo Light pectin crystals, using the recipe for strawberry jam as a guideline. Note that you want to end up with 6 cups of prepared fruit.
This can be kept on the shelf for up to 6 months."

<p>I love to cook and my favourites are veggies of all kinds. Unfortunately my husband and daughter don't share this love with me and are happy to exist on Rice A Roni and plain meat. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
