Fresh Papaya Jam

Ingredients

5 cups mashed ripe papaya  1/4 cup orange juice

1 1/3 (1.75 ounce) packages dry  pectin

5 cups white sugar

Directions

Stir together papaya, orange juice, and pectin in a very large pot  over medium-high heat until it begins to boil. Stir constantly as the  mixture heats. Once boiling, stir in the sugar, and return to a boil,  stirring constantly. Once the jam has returned to a boil, start a timer,  and boil for exactly 1 minute.

Ladle the hot jam into the hot, sterilized canning jars and seal with  lids and rings. Allow to cool to room temperature, and refrigerate  any jars that do not seal.
