In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring frequently, until the preserves have thickened.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle the hot preserves into three hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles and adjust the headspace if necessary by adding more hot preserves. Wipe the rims of the jars clean.

Center the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until they are finger-tight. Place the jars in a canner with simmering water, ensuring they are completely submerged. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the jars and allow them to cool completely.
