Ingredients:
3 quarts fresh strawberries, washed and hulled |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
7 1/2 cups sugar |
2 (3-ounce) packages liquid fruit pectin |
Directions:
1. Combine strawberries and water in a flat-bottomed kettle; crush berries. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Strain berries through a damp jelly bag, reserving 3 3/4 cups juice. Discard pulp.
2. Combine reserved juice, lemon juice, and sugar in kettle. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add liquid pectin, and return to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim off foam with a metal spoon.
