At once add sugar.
Bring to a full boil (cannot be stirred down).
Boil hard for one minute.
Remove from heat and skim for 5 minutes.
This helps prevent floating fruit.
Put quickly into jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Clean rim and seal with rings.
Tighten rings but not too tight.

We use a steam canner. Time is the same.
