Red, ripe strawberries make a classic jam that brings back summer year 'round. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups crushed strawberries (wash, hull, then crush one layer at a time using potato masher) |
1 1/2 tablespoons ball® realfruit™ classic pectin |
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar |
2 ball® or kerr® half-pint (8 oz) jars with lids and bands |
Directions:
1. Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.
2. Place strawberries in a 6- or 8-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Over high heat, bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly.
3. Add entire measure of sugar, stirring to dissolve. Return mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
4. Ladle hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip-tight.
5. Process in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
