My DH loves strawberry jam. He chooses that before any other and although he will eat other jam on occasion.... his preference is strawberry. We ran out of strawberry jam. 😐
When I went shopping at Costco, they didn't have Strawberry Jam either. They had a spread that he has tried before and wasn't all that enamored with. So today I pulled some frozen strawberries out to make some more jam. It worked out well.
2 quarts frozen strawberries (I thawed them and blitzed in the food processor)
lemon juice - I used 1/8 to 1/4 cup
7 cups sugar (yes, that's a lot of sugar, but this is jam!)
I brought it all to a boil and cooked until it had jelled.
This yielded 4 pints of jam.
This is warm jam on a whole wheat roll. Pretty yummy!
One jar went to the refrigerator for immediate use and the other three I water bathed (10 minutes for our altitude) for the future.
