Fruit Juice Sweetened Jam

Leah has been asking for Jam since she went sugar free. So we finally got around to it this weekend. Jam is so easy, so I had her make it. She was quite pleased with her creation.

Jam:
4 cups of frozen berries (we used blueberry, blackberry and raspberry)
2/3 cup of grape juice concentrate
3 Tablespoons pectin

In saucepan bring all the ingredients to a boil. Stir constantly till. Keep stirring till boil cannot be stirred down, then boil a little bit longer (like 1 more minute). At this point we opted to just put the jam in a jar and use it now. You can also freeze it  or if you want shelf stable jam them you will need to process it in a water bath. Here are some instructions- just follow steps 1, 3 & 4 for the water bath:
