fresh strawberries picked by me at bauer berry farm
what was left

foam is funny stuff when it cools, it gets stiff
fill up the jars
try not to drool
strawberry jam recipe
2011 strawberry jam
8 cups strawberries
4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons pectin
Mash berries in pot with pectin.
When liquid, add sugar.
Bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes, then turn off heat.
Scoop off foam, fill jars.
Process 10 minutes in canner.
Made two batches, the second was closer to 7 cups berries with 3 cups sugar. Total of 13 and 1/ 2 jars
necessary canning equipment
load up the canner
the tall skinny jam jars dont stay upright in the canner when the water is boiling, so my mom solved that by wrapping the jar in a dishrag.
done! commence eating!
