Strawberry Jam~
Author: 
 
There is nothing so delicious as freshly made jam from farm fresh, vine ripened strawberries. I have three recipes, so whether your into canning or just looking for a simple freezer recipe it's here.
Ingredients
  • 2 quarts strawberries*, sliced or crushed
  • 1 package Sure Jell or other powdered pectin
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 7 cups sugar
Instructions
  1. Wash strawberries, remove leaves and stems, and slice. You may just crush them but slicing makes a prettier jam.
  2. In large saucepan, combine strawberries, pectin and lemon juice and bring to a boil stirring occasionally.
  3. Add sugar, stir until dissolved and bring to a rolling boil. Boil hard for approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving ¼" headspace. Make sure tops of jars are clean and add lids.
  6. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
  7. Makes 8 half-pints
