Execution Protocol
- Put a small plate in the freezer — you'll use it to test the set later.
- Mash the fruit in a heavy pot and warm over medium heat until juicy.
- Whisk the pectin into 2 tbsp of the sugar (taken from the total), stir into the warm fruit, and bring to a boil.
- Add the remaining sugar and the lemon juice. Stir until dissolved, then boil hard for 3–4 minutes.
- Test on the frozen plate — when a spoonful wrinkles as you push it, it's set. Pull it early; soft berries set fast.
- Ladle into a warm jar, seal, and cool. Refrigerate; use within a few weeks.
