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.

Eight dollars per pound of organic berries?
I had that situation happen once, except it was with fudge and a dollar-store silicone spatula. Not as expensive, but equally disappointing when I realized the handle had come unglued from the stirrer.
