Welcome to our delicious strawberry jam recipe! This homemade strawberry jam is perfect for spreading on toast, adding to desserts, or simply enjoying on its own. Follow the steps below to create a flavorful and sweet spread that will delight your taste buds.
3 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled
1 package (1.75 ounces) regular powdered fruit pectin
1/2 teaspoon butter
7 cups sugar
Note: Jam may require standing for 1 to 2 weeks after canning to fully set.
After canning, if your fruit separates from the liquid in the jars, invert the sealed jars once or twice a day until the fruit is well distributed.
Prepare as directed, but do not crush the strawberries. Substitute 8 cups of coarsely chopped berries for the 5 cups of crushed berries. This variation yields about 9 cups (about 9 half-pints).
Prepare as directed, but decrease the crushed strawberries to 4 cups and add 1 cup of chopped banana to the strawberries after crushing. This variation yields about 8 cups (about 8 half-pints).
Prepare as directed, but stir in 1/3 cup of snipped fresh basil after skimming off the foam. This variation yields about 10 cups (about 10 half-pints).
