Strawberry Jam
Ingredients
- 4 lb. strawberries, washed, hulled, cut into chunks (I like 1”)
- 2 ¼ lb. sugar
- zest and juice of 1 lemon (or lime)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large pot over medium-high heat until berries begin to lose their juice. Bring to full boil; cook, stirring often, 20-30 minutes, or until mixture thickens and temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 220 degrees. Skim foam from the surface with a stainless steel spoon.
- Pour jam into warm jars, wipe rim, seal and refrigerate for 4 months. Alternately, process in water bath for 10 minutes to store at room temperature for 1 year.
Notes
- Makes approx. 8 6oz jars of jam.
