Categories     condiment

Time P1DT1h10m

Yield Eight 8-ounce jars of jam

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 cups hulled and mashed strawberries
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, strained
One 49-gram package powdered fruit pectin
7 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Place the mason jars in a large hot water bath canner (or pot). Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Simmer the center lids in separate saucepan full of water.
  • Place the mashed strawberries and lemon juice in a separate pot. Stir in the pectin until dissolved. Bring the strawberries to a strong boil.
  • Add the sugar (measure beforehand so you can add it all at once), and then return the mixture to a full (violent) boil that can't be stirred down. Boil hard for 1 minute 15 seconds. Skim foam off the top.
  • Remove one jar at a time from the simmering water. Pour water back into the pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, fill each jar with jam, being careful to keep the liquid/fruit ratio consistent. Fill the jars so that they have 1/4-inch of space at the top. Run a knife down the side of the jar to get rid of air bubbles. Wipe the rim of the jar with a wet cloth to remove any residue or stickiness.
  • Remove the center lid from the simmering water and position it on top. Put screw bands on jars, but do not over tighten! Repeat with all the jars, and then place the jars on a canning rack and lower into the water. Place the lid on the canner, and then bring the water to a full boil. Boil hard for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the jars to remain in the hot water for an addition 5 minutes. Remove the jars from the water using a jar lifter, and allow them to sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours, remove the screw bands and check the seal of the jars. The center lids should have no give whatsoever. If any seals are compromised, store those jars in the fridge. Otherwise, fill your pantry with your newly canned goodness.

This is by far the easiest recipe I have found for strawberry jam without using a pectin. The jam is soft, spreadable and delicious.

STRAWBERRY JAM (PECTIN ADDED)



Strawberry Jam (Pectin Added) image

This recipes is from the Ball Blue Book. The only thing I did differently is to add lemon zest. It's really refreshing, because the lemon zest/juice keeps it from being overly sweet. This is one of my favorite jams that I make each year.

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh (or frozen, thawed) hulled, quartered strawberries
2/3 cup sugar
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, coarsely grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine 1 pound fresh (or frozen, thawed) hulled, quartered strawberries and 2/3 cup sugar in a large heavy skillet. Stir in 1 peeled, coarsely grated large Granny Smith apple. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring and breaking up strawberries, until sugar dissolves. Simmer until jam is thickened, 10-15 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl or jar; let cool. Cover and chill until set, about 2 hours. Keep chilled; serve within 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your jam.
  • Prepare your jars and lids properly. Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes before using them. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Use a large pot. You'll need a large pot to hold all of the strawberries and sugar. A Dutch oven is a good option.
  • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. This will help to thicken the jam and set the pectin.
  • Stir the jam constantly. This will help to prevent scorching and ensure that the jam cooks evenly.
  • Let the jam cool slightly before canning. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking.

Conclusion:

Making strawberry jam is a fun and easy way to preserve your summer strawberries. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and versatile jam that can be enjoyed all year long. Whether you're spreading it on toast, using it as a filling for pastries, or adding it to your favorite yogurt or oatmeal, strawberry jam is a delicious and versatile addition to any kitchen.
