Servings: persons

2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3 cups blackberries
12 large sorrel leaves, red leaved was used, but green would work.
10 cups diced rhubarb
5 cups strawberries, hulled and left whole if small, otherwise quartered
Juice of three lemons
Zest of one lemon
Large sprig of lemon verbena (about 12 leaves and some flowers)
6 teaspoons Calcium water (included w/Pomono pectin)
3 cups sugar
6 teaspoons Pomona Pectin

1
Make a simple syrup by bringing the water and 2 cups of sugar to a boil. Add the blackberries and sorrel leaves and crush well. Allow the mixture to steep for 30 minutes, then strain. You should have about 24 oz. of syrup.
2
In a large preserving pan, mix together the rhubarb, berries, lemon juice and zest, lemon verbena.
3
Stir in the syrup. Stir in the calcium water.
4
Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring all the while.
5
Whisk together the Pomona pectin and the sugar.
6
When the preserves are at a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, add the sugar and pectin all at once.
7
Stir well and continually for five minutes, bringing the mixture back to a full rolling boil.
8
Most of the foam will have subsided when the jam is ready. It will look clear and shiny, and will form wrinkles on the surface after cooling for a minute or two. Use the frozen plate trick to check the set.
9
To banish every speck of foam, add small pinches of butter. We added about 1 teaspoon spread out over three additions.
10
Ladle into 1/2 pint jars. Wipe the rims and place sterilized lids and rings.
11
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
