Cover and cook on low for 2 1 / 2 hours , stirring twice during cooking.

Remove the lid , turn the cooking temperature to high , and cook 2-3 hours longer , until the jam reaches your desired consistency.

Ladle the warm jam into clean spring-top glasses.

Let stand until cool.

Store , covered , in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
