Ingredients

For 1 Batch(es)

Recipe

  • 3¾ cup(s) prepared strawberries (about 2 qts strawberries)
  • 7 cup(s) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup(s) lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 pouch Certo Liquid Pectin

Strawberry Jam Directions

Hull strawberries. Place in colander and wash them. Place colander in a larger bowl, and run water into the bowl until the fruit is fully covered (but still in the colander). Remove any unwanted particules that float to the top of water. Remove colander from bowl, empty water, and repeat process. Drain strawberries.

Crush strawberries, one layer at a time, using a potato masher or flat masher. 

Add (3¾ cups) mashed strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to a large saucepan.

NOTE: Before cooking berry mixture, sterilize jars, as they must be warm to receive the cooked mixture.

Bring berry mixture to a boil on high heat. Let it boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in liquid pectin.

Stir mixture and skim foam for 5 minutes.

Pour into warm sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of rim. Cover with mason lids. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours or until set.

Store in a cool place for up to one year.
