Using a food processor, grind up the berries until smooth. Place in a large stockpot with sugar and pectin and stir to coat. Bring to a full, rolling boil and keep it boiling for 1 minute stirring the entire time. Remove from heat immediately and let cool 5 minutes.

Skim off any foam that has risen to the top.
