  Select fully ripened fruits and rinse them quickly under cold water and 
  then drain thoroughly.  Do not soak the fruit in water.  Do not double the 
  recipes.  Do not substitute ingredients.  Do not reduce the amount of sugar 
  or increase the amount of fruit used.  An exact balance of fruit, sugar, 
  and pectin is needed for jelling to occur.  For no cook jams, mash the 
  fruit with a potato masher.  For cooked jams, process the fruit in a food 
  processor using quick on and off pulses until finely chopped. For 
  preserves, until coarsely chopped.  Do NOT puree. 
   
  NOTE: 
   
  A rolling boil is a boil that cannot be stirred down.
