Wonderful Wildflower Jam

With a "nubbly" texture and a caramel apple flavor, this wildflower jam with red clover and pineapple weed is clever and delicious. Makes 4-5 half pints.
Note: The calcium and directions for the calcium water in this recipe is included in the Pomona's package.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups red clover petals
  • 1 cup pineapple weed flowers
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup raw organic sugar
  • 4 teaspoons Pomona's Pectin
  • 4 teaspoons calcium water

Instructions

  • Prepare clean and patted dry clover by removing the petals; rinse and pat dry the pineapple weed flowers.
  • Place 4 teaspoons of pectin and 1/2 cup sugar into a small bowl, mix and set aside.
  • Place prepared flowers into a heavy bottomed saucepan and add water, honey, lemon juice and calcium water. Stirring frequently, bring the wildflower mixture to a slight boil.
  • Add sugar/pectin mixture slowly, stirring well to combine. Return to a slight boil and cook for approximately 2 minutes stirring constantly.
  • Ladle into prepared jars. Wipe the rims, and screw on prepared lids and rings, finger tight. Process in a water bath canner at a full boil for 10 minutes (for half pints) or 15 minutes (for pints).
  • After processing, remove jars from canner and allow to cool for 24 hours. Check for seal and store in a cool dark spot for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening.
