Grandmother's Strawberry Jam Recipe

Grandmother's Strawberry Jam Recipes

Ingredients :

4-6 pints ripe strawberries

3 cups sugar

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Method :

Wash, dry and hull the berries. Crush enough berries by hand or by quickly pulsing in a food processor to produce 4 cups. Pour the puréed berries into a large non-aluminum pot, and stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer over low heat for 9 to 15 minutes, depending on the juiciness of the berries, until the purée begins to thicken. Stir frequently with a stainless steel spoon. Remove from the heat and let purée come to room temperature, then cool in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Simmer again for 9-15 minutes to thicken. Prepare eight 8 ounce glass canning jars by washing, scalding, and draining them; or use the hot rinse cycle (at least 150F) of a dishwasher. Working quickly, fill the jars to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe the rim with a clean damp cloth and seal with 1/4 inch of melted paraffin. Cool the jars overnight. Wipe and seal again if necessary. Store in cool, dark place.

This update of an old family recipe has a rich, fruity strawberry flavor.
