In a stainless steel saucepan, combine berries and orange juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
Add 1 cup of sugar and stir in for 5 minutes. With a spoon taste the mixture to see if it's sweet enough. Remember it will be hot so let it cool on the spoon for a minute.
Many times the tarter berries may require a bit more sugar. If you add more sugar only add in 1/4 cup increments.
Note: you are going to add 1/3 cup more sugar with the Clear Jel. (One cup was plenty for my berries since the orange juice added sweetness)
In a separate bowl add 1/3 cup of Clear Jel and 1/3 cup of sugar. Mix together the powders with a wire whisk.
Using your ladle scoop out about 1/3 cup of the hot liquid from the pot. You can instead use an additional 1/3 cup of orange juice if you want a more orange flavor.
Use the whisk to completely stir the mixture until it looks smooth like milk.
Add 2T. of bottled lemon juice to the fruit in the pot and while stirring increase the heat under the pot to medium.
Pour your Clear Jel mixture into the pot and stir for about a minute until the jam is thick. This will be like adding a thickener to make gravy. Turn off heat and remove pan from stove.
