But I do mine alittle differnt...I cut the stem ends and cores out and cut into pieces and run through my food mill before cooking...Then I place the juice in the pot and bring it up to a boil then I add a tablespoon of sugar at a time, tasting and heating until I have the taste I like. Then I process them in waterbath.
