4. Add 1 C apple cider vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Once you have a rolling boil, add 5 cups granulated sugar. Stir it well, making sure that all of the sugar is dissolved.

5. Stirring constantly, bring it back to a rolling boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute then remove it from the heat.

6. Carefully pour the hot jam into pint-sized jars.

7. Take a wet paper towel and clean the rim of the jars, making sure there isn't any jam sticking to it. This will help you get a nice, clean seal.

8. Place a lid and ring onto the top of the jars. Make sure you are using new lids.

9. Place the jars in a water bath canner and process for 15 minutes. The lids will make a popping sound once they have sealed.

Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening.

This jam is wonderful served with cream cheese and Ritz crackers.
