To prepare fruit, grind about 2 quarts fully ripe berries, or crush completely one layer at a time so that each berry is reduced to a pulp. Measure sugar and prepared fruit into large kettle, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from fire and stir in Certo. Stir and skim for just 5 minutes to cool slightly to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 10 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
• New combination jams: Use above recipe, preparing 4 cups fruit from a 2-quart mixture of two or more of the berries listed above.
