Capture the essence of strawberries in a sweet, spreadable jam without heating up the kitchen. You may never buy the jarred stuff from the store again.

Ingredients

  • 2

    cups

    crushed strawberries (buy 1 qt. fully ripe strawberries)

  • 4

    cups

    sugar, measured into separate bowl

  • 3/4

    cup

    water

  • 1

    pkg

    SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse 5 (1-cup) plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. Remove and discard strawberry stems. Crush strawberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.

  2. Step 2

    Mix water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until most the sugar is dissolved. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

  3. Step 3

    Fill containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or in freezer up to 1 year. (If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.)
