Strawberry Jam, Perfected (using no pectin)
I am a total beginner in making my own fruit jams, but this recipe is easy and pretty foolproof. You can substitute strawberries for just about any kind of jam. I use olallieberries or raspberries with great results.
A few tips:
Plan on 2 hours, from start to finish. Sterilize the jars and lids in hot, simmering water.
You will need a set of long tongs or a can lifter (look for canning supplies). Have clean cloths ready and a good set of oven mitts-- the boiled jam reaches about 217°F degrees!
Canning is not hard to do. For more info, please visit my food blog:
