Raspberry Balsamic Jam

Ingredients:

8 cups raspberries

1 1.75 oz. pkg pectin

7 cups sugar

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup pink peppercorns

Instructions:  Prepare 8 half pint jars.  In a large heavy pot, crush 1 cup of the raspberries with a potato masher.  Add 1 cup of berries at a time, crushing before adding any more.  Stir in the pectin and bring this mixture to a boil.  Stir constantly.  Add the sugar and bring back to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute stirring.  Take off the heat and skim off the foam.  Stir in the vinegar and peppercorns.  Ladle the jam into the jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Wipe the rims and put on the lids and rings.  Place jars on the rack in the canner and bring water to a boil.  Boil for 5 minutes.  Take jars out of canner and cool for 24 hours.

Note:  As another option, instead of the vinegar and peppercorns, you could stir in 1 tsp shredded lemon peel, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp grated fresh ginger along with the sugar.
