Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup of your jam or jelly
3 Tbsp. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 tsp. CERTO Fruit Pectin

  • PREPARE A TRIAL BATCH: Measure jam or jelly into small (1-qt.) saucepan. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar, lemon juice and pectin; stir until well blended. Return to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon. Immediately pour into sterilized jar. Cover and let stand up to 24 hours to check set of jam or jelly. Meanwhile, store opened pouch of pectin in refrigerator. Store jar of jam or jelly from trial batch in refrigerator.
  • PREPARE REMAINDER OF BATCH: If Trial Batch sets satisfactorily, prepare remainder of batch in 6- to 8-qt. stockpot, remaking no more than 8 cups of jam or jelly at one time and using same directions as for Trial Batch with the above-listed measures of sugar, lemon juice and pectin for each 1 cup of jam or jelly. Ladle into sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly.

Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. for jelly; 10 min. for jam. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lids with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.) Discard any leftover pectin in opened pouch.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM (LIQUID CERTO)



Strawberry Rhubarb Jam (Liquid Certo) image

I'm posting this so I'll have it available whenever I need it. I figure I'm not the only one to lose the directions that come in the pectin box, so I thought I'd make it public. This makes a nice sweet/tart jam with a beautiful rich pink/red color. If you use a food processor to chop your strawberries, don't puree them, just chop them. To prepare jars--wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with warm water. To prepare flat lids, bring a small amount of water to a boil and remove from the heat. Place the lids in the boiling water and let sit until you are ready to use them. I use the inversion method to seal my jars (place them upside down for 10 minutes once the lids are on instead of canning) but that method is NOT RECOMMENDED by the USDA.

Categories     Strawberry

Time 35m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pints strawberries
1 lb rhubarb
6 1/2 cups sugar
1 (3 ounce) envelope liquid Certo
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare your jars and lids for canning. This recipe makes approximately 8 cups.
  • Remove the stems from the strawberries, and crush to 2 1/4 cups. You can crush with a potato masher, food processer, or my favorite way, by hand.
  • Chop rhubarb (you'll need it to measure 1 3/4 cups), place in saucepan with 1/2 cup water, bring to boil and boil about 2 minutes, or until rhubarb is soft.
  • In a large (6- or 8-quart) pot, combine the strawberries, drained rhubarb, sugar, and butter if using and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat.
  • Add the pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for one minute and then remove from the heat.
  • Skim off any foam (if you used the butter, there may not be any foam) and pour into your prepared jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace.
  • Wipe jar rims and threads, cover with two piece lids, screw bands on and boil in a canner for 10 minutes.
  • Remove jars from canner and allow to sit overnight. Check the seal, if any jars did not seal, place in the fridge and use immediately. Store properly sealed jars up to one year in a cool dry place.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fruit: Use firm, ripe fruit that is free of blemishes.
  • Prepare your fruit: Wash your fruit thoroughly and remove any stems, pits, or seeds. Cut the fruit into small pieces if necessary.
  • Use the right amount of Certo: The amount of Certo you need will depend on the amount of fruit you are using and the desired consistency of your jam. Follow the directions on the Certo package carefully.
  • Bring your mixture to a full rolling boil: This is important to ensure that the jam sets properly. A full rolling boil means that the mixture is bubbling vigorously and cannot be stirred down.
  • Stir your jam frequently: Stirring helps to prevent the jam from scorching and helps to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the jam.
  • Test the jam for doneness: To test the jam for doneness, place a small amount of it on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is done.
  • Let the jam cool slightly before canning: Allow the jam to cool for about 5 minutes before ladling it into jars. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking.
  • Process the jars of jam: Process the jars of jam in a boiling water bath for the amount of time specified on the Certo package. This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Making jam with Certo liquid pectin is a simple and easy way to preserve your favorite fruits. By following these tips, you can make delicious, homemade jam that your family and friends will love. Plus, using Certo liquid pectin instead of powdered pectin can reduce foam formation, improve color quality, and shortening the processing time for high quality jams and jellies. Enjoy your homemade jams and jellies!
