5 cups Sugar, measured into separate bowl

3/4 cup Water

RINSE clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.

STEM and crush blueberries thoroughly, 1 layer at a time. Measure exactly 1-1/2 cups crushed blueberries into large bowl. Mash raspberries. Measure exactly 1-1/2 cups mashed raspberries into bowl with blueberries. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.

MIX water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is almost dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
