Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ⅓ cups crushed strawberries (wash, hull, then crush one layer at a time using potato masher)
1 ½ tablespoons Ball® RealFruit™ Classic Pectin
1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
2 Ball® or Kerr® Half-pint (8 oz) Jars with lids and bands

Steps:

  • Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.
  • Place strawberries in a 6- or 8-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Over high heat, bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly.
  • Add entire measure of sugar, stirring to dissolve. Return mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
  • Ladle hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip-tight.
  • Process in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
