What's your favorite Jelly/Jam recipe?

[gardencrazy]

I'm gearing up to make some jellies and jams. I'm going to make apple pie jam, grape jam (in a few weeks when the grapes are ripe) and habanero gold jelly. I was just wondering what jellies & jams others make. Please post the recipes too!

I usually only make strawberry jam, and I just use the recipe on the pectin box. This year, I bought a ton of canning jars and think I might try to make other kinds.
I have some black raspberries from my vines that I froze. I might try to make a jam with those. I have a red delicious apple tree out back, and would like to make some apple butter, but I don't know if red delicious apples will make good apple butter. I also have some wild grapes out back, and think maybe once they are ripe, I might try to make some grape jam with them. Are you using wild grapes?

Here's one of our faves. I freeze different kinds of berries as they mature and then mix them altogether, using the following recipe as a guide. http://www.recipezaar.com/Bumbleberry-Jam-97389

I have grapes that grow wild in the backyard. They are Concords. Tart little things but work well in jam.

My fav and kids is strawberry rhubarb low sugar that is four cups of fruit to two cups of sugar using pamona pectin. I'm a sucker for all kinds of jam and jelly's thou. Raspberry rhubarb is neck in neck with strawberry rhubarb.

My favorite is this strawberry/cranberry jam. It is such a pretty dark red that it makes a great christmas jam to give away as a gift. I would buy my cranberries in the fall and freeze so that I would have them in summer when strawberries would be in season. Here is the recipe

Strawberry/Cranberry Jam
2 1/2 quarts strawberries, coarsely chopped
1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
2 (2 ounce) packages powdered fruit pectin
1 teaspoon margarine
5 pounds white sugar

Directions:
1. Prepare jars and lids for canning.
2. In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, cranberries, pectin, and margarine. Bring to a boil. Stir in sugar, and return to a boil. Cook for 1 minute; remove from heat.
3. Quickly fill jars to within 1/2 inch from top. Wipe rims clean, and put on lids. Process in water-bath for 10 minutes.

Another one I really like is pomegranate jelly. I won best of division in my county fair with this recipe last year.

Pomegranate Jelly

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups pomegranate juice
7 1/2 cups white sugar
2 lemons, juiced
1 (6 fluid ounce) container liquid pectin

DIRECTIONS:
Combine pomegranate and lemon juice with sugar in a large, stainless steel saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat, and at once stir in liquid pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1/2 minute. Remove from heat, and skim off foam.
Ladle into hot, sterilized jars to within about 1/4 inch of the top. Seal, and process in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes.
