Thank you. This is it. If you add a teaspoon or two of butter to the pot it breaks the surface tension and very little if any foam forms. Thank you so much. I have been looking for this recipe without success for ages.

Sounds wonderful!

It is. It is the best jam I have ever made, plus it is very pretty so it is perfect for gifts. I originally found it years ago in Farm Journal. It was called Heavenly Jam, and it is. I lost the recipe, and I could never find it. I am so glad to have it now.

I'm glad to help! I can't stand that feeling of losing something and when it's hard to find again it is even more irritating.
Thank you for the tip on the butter breaking surface tension!
