Raspberry and Cherry Jam

Put eight pounds of raspberries into a preserving-pan with four pounds of stoned cherries and boil them for fifteen minutes. Remove the scum, if any has gathered, and add nine pounds of sugar. Boil again for about an hour or until the jam hangs from the spoon, skim it again, pour it into pots, cover them when cold, and they will be ready for use.
