Ingredients
  • 16 cups mashed strawberries
  • ¾ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 ½ TB calcium water from the Pomona Pectin package
  • 2 TB pectin from the Pomona Pectin package
  • 1 ½ cups raw honey (Could use organic pure cane sugar. Start with this amount and you can always add more – this is a very conservative amount for the amount of berries – we tend to like our jam to taste more like the strawberries and even have a little “tart” to it – you will be able to taste the jam before jarring it and can always add more. The sweetness of your berries makes a difference as well.)
Instructions
  1. Put the strawberries, lemon juice, and calcium water in a large stock pot and stir well. Bring to a boil.
  2. While the strawberry mixture is coming to a boil, put your honey and pectin into a bowl and stir together.
  3. Once the strawberry mixture comes to boil, pour your honey/pectin mixture into the stock pot, and stir continuously for 2 minutes to ensure the pectin dissolves completely.
  4. Once the mixture comes to a boil again turn the heat off, and take a quick taste to see if you want to add more honey or sugar.
  5. Ladle the jam into your jars. Let them come to room temp before setting in the freezer WITHOUT lids on – once they are frozen and expanded you may lid them (give them about 24 hours).
