“I wanted to see if I could”
Feats accomplished under those auspices:

An extra ingredient
From someone going by the name of Slagathor:
2 pounds pitted black cherries
2 pounds blueberries
1 pound blackberries
2 packets of liquid pectin
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cups sugar
pinch of glass from 1 broken candy thermometermash fruit with clean potato masher
hard boil ingredients for 1 minute (220 degrees)
jar in sterilized jars and process in boiling water canner for 10 minutes depending on altitude
throw entire batch away after discovering broken thermometer
Apparently, this happened with $40 worth of hand-picked organic fruits.

Gibbs, you will be missed, but your legacy will live on forever.

Some helpful advice: Jacques Pepin often discusses proper knife technique on his various PBS cooking shows. I’m not sure he ever goes over “don’t touch a hot pan while holding a knife stupidly” thing, though, so, don’t touch a hot pan while holding a knife stupidly.
