I do LOVE a good strawberry!
And the more the merrier, I say! With help from my two lovely daughters yesterday, we already have a dozen jars of jammy strawberry goodness for the pantry shelves, plus a wee bit more for our toast and tea today. So good. We made two batches. This is the recipe we used:
Strawberry Jam
Yields: 6-7 (8 oz. jelly jars)
Directions:
Into a tall stainless-steel stockpot add:
8 cups crushed or sliced strawberries
2 cups granulated sugar
Combine in a small bowl and set aside:
1-1/2 T. agar agar powder
1 T. granulated sugar
1 teas. citric acid powder
Bring strawberries and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
Gradually sprinkle in the agar mixture a little at a time,
stirring constantly so it doesn’t lump.
Boil rapidly for 3 minutes--keep stirring!
Remove from heat and pour jam into hot sterilized jars.
Jam will be runny, but will set-up as it cools.
If you are looking for a natural low-sugar alternative, try my recipe using xylitol.
Happy Summer!
Happy strawberry summer days! Thanks for the recipe.
