Strawberry Jam

[Dodgegal79]

I've never made it but want to try, does anyone have any REALLY good recipes?? My dad is very picky about his strawberry jam. He likes it sort of runny, not chunky from the pectin. Thanks

Go buy a package of Sure-Jel and use that recipe. All you need to do is puree your berries a little more before you mix everything. We make it by the gallons!

Hi there.

I have a great recipe for you!! My good friends and I just got together for strawberry jam making. For strawberries we do freezer jam. It stays nice bright red color and has a fresher berry taste - and it is sooooo easy!! Look for the Certo brand liquid pectin and follow the directions for the easy no-cook method. This is how I do a double batch:

wash and hull strawberries, pure in food processor to your liking (chunky or smooth). In large bowl mix together 4 cups pured strawberries and 8 cups sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. In a small bowl mix together 1 box of Certo (2 pouches), and 4 tablespoons lemon juice. Combine with sugar/berry mixture and stir for 3 minutes straight. Pour into freezer containers. Let sit at room temp for 24 hours then freeze.

Here are my stats this year:

2 flats strawberries=
11 boxes of liquid certo, 45 pounds of sugar= 39, 3 cup containers of jam.

Enjoy!!

Thanks so much. I will look at both recipes. I'm ok for the freezer here but I have no power at my other place and need to can stuff for there. If anyone has any more suggestions that would be great.
