Strawberry Jam with a twist—RECIPE

Описание: Strawberry Jam with Brylee Jo 🍓 A Little Lemon, a Lot of Love

My granddaughter Brylee Jo and I had fun in the kitchen today, cooking up a big batch of strawberry jam—and it turned out BombDiggity. We put our own spin on it, giving it a hint of lemon to brighten it up and added the sugar first to soften the berries—it worked like a charm.

Here’s how we made it:

Ingredients:
– 3 lbs strawberries (about 5 cups mashed)
– 7 cups sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– A little lemon rind (zest to taste)
– 1 box Sure-Jell (yellow box)

What We Did:
1. We hulled and mashed the strawberries until we had about 5 cups.
2. In a big pot, we mixed the strawberries and sugar first and let it sit a few minutes while we zested the lemon.
3. Then we added the lemon juice and lemon rind, turned the heat on, and brought everything to a full rolling boil—stirring constantly.
4. Once boiling, we added the pectin and kept it going at a hard boil for one minute (you want that bubbling action you can’t stir down).
5. We removed it from heat, skimmed off any foam, and ladled it into sterilized jars.
6. We sealed the jars using ForJars lids and rings—and y’all, they’re amazing. These lids seal beautifully, they’re extra sturdy, and we’ve never had a fail.

We love ForJars for their reliability and tight seal—you can feel the quality. They’ve got a big July 4th sale going on, and if you use code BOMBDIGGITY you’ll save an extra 10%. Now that’s worth preserving.

We processed the jars in a water bath for 10 minutes. Done and delicious. It made a beautiful set and tastes like sunshine in a jar. We’ve can’t wait to eat some on biscuits, but Brylee and I did try it straight from the spoon—just to be sure it was perfect. It was.
