Canning and Preserving Recipes
Light Strawberry Jam
Yield: 3 pints
Ingredients
- 3 quarts ripe strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered pectin
- 4 cups C&H® Light Sugar & Stevia Blend
Instructions
- In large bowl, crush berries with fork and measure approximately 5 1/2 cups into a 6 quart pot. Add pectin; stir well. Place over high heat and, stirring constantly, bring quickly to a full boil with bubbles over the entire surface.
- Add Light Sugar & Stevia Blend, continue stirring and return to a full boil. Boil rapidly for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat; skim. Stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit.
- Ladle into hot, sterilized, canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Place lids on jars; tighten screw bands. Place jars on rack in pot of simmering water, making sure jars are completely covered by water. Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 15 minutes; cool.
- Carefully remove jars from water. Check for proper seal. (If lid pushes down, but springs up, jar is improperly sealed; reprocess immediately.)
- Store in a cool dark place.
