Measure 4 cups of crushed fruit. Add more berries if necessary. Place berries in a very large kettle and stir in the lemon juice and the Sure-Jel or Can-Jel. Place over high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a hard boil. Immediately add the sugar and bring to a full rolling boil; boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
