I have a tried and well used recipe for both jam and jelly and will be pleased to let you have them once I find the written version (I do not trust the version in my head)

Do you want jam or jelly?

Jam please

I work in old money so you will need to adjust to suit.

For jam - put 4 pounds of fruit in pan, add about 10 cups of water and bring to the boil for about 10 minutes then add 8 pounds of sugar and stir until sugar melts, bring back to the boil and boil steadily for about 30 mins until jam sets on testing, I dont use a thermometer and stay beside pan stirring and testing the whole time.
Add a knob of butter whilst cooling to keep the berries soft.
