My friend Betty and I hit the Farmers' Market in Meriden Township on Saturday morning and came home with 10 quarts of fresh picked organic strawberries. Four quarts went into making homemade strawberry jam! We produced 24 4oz jars and 5 6 oz jars. Quite the morning's productivty if I do say so. My sister is the queen of jam - she makes a 'lot' each summer - typically blackberry. She lives in Kentucky so access to blackberries is easier. She also makes strawberry and pear from time to time. This is her recipe, thanks Penny! Recipe:
2 qts berries
7 c. sugar
1 pkg pectin (Sure-Jell)
1/3 c. lemon juice
Don't double this recipe. If you want to increase the amount, it is advised to make two (or more) batches.
