This was a great video! Thank you for posting it. I have had the luck of finding many tiny wild strawberries in my backyard, and I think I will try this recipe with them.

@spence10111 Did you have something on the bottom of your hot water pot — to protect the jars from sitting on the bottom? Most canning pots come with a small rack that fits inside. If not, you could possibly place several smaller jar rings on the bottom, then place the filled jars carefully on top where the rings touch each other, before bringing the water back to a full boil.

@cookingupastory my jar broke in the water bath what should when I put it in the water

will you adopt me? My mom was a great cook and put so much love into what came out of the kitchen. Her best dish was fresh cut, buttermilk-battered fried chicken, fresh drop biscuits and green beans. Seeing you so handy around the kitchen reminded me of her. Keep up the good work and thanks for the information.

@cookingupastory thanks.!

@atkinsonja Pectin is necessary in order for the jams to gel. Some fruits are high in natural pectin and may not need any additional pectin, but others are low and need something to help set a gel. Strawberries are low in pectin and the lemon (or citrus) will help them gel. Follow directions for correct amount.
I got this all from the University of Missouri Extension website. Put “Jam and Jelly Basics” in their search bar for more info.

I’m going to try this tomorrow. I’m not canning it though because I don’t have the jars, tongs, etc. We’re just going to eat it in a week and give some to the neighbors. I’ll let you know how it pans out.

Simply delicious. I have just devoured my second and last jar of this yummy jam, and am about to make another batch. I think I will grate some extra fresh ginger in– yum. The directions are clear and accurate, thank you so much. I will never again buy strawberry jam, this is a million times more superior, and ends up being the same cost, if not less.

I tried this for myself
it didn’t turn out as well as the jam in the video
but its was so good that i dont like buying jam now
i like to make my own :D
thanks for posting

How about using corn startch? what was the substance that you used to make it thick? Did the water just evaporate?
Pandabearkt
Hmm, could I puree or make the fruit into a fine paste before adding it to the pan with the sugar? my son likes it reeeeeally smooth, no clumps (he’s 4 1/2 and picky… I try to get fruits and veg in him the easiest ways I know how, lol..)

Awesome job Marge! I’m a gardener and was wondering what to do with all the extra strawberries this year. Now I don’t have to give them all away thanks to you. You made it very simple and covered all my questions, except where can I get one of those wide funnels?

do I need to put the jam in hot water if I put the jam in the refrigerator ?
