Homemade Strawberry Jam!!!

MMMMMMMMMMM......JAM!!!!

I never thought I could do it. My sister Angela came down to visit me and she told me we should make some. So we went to the store and bought sure jell. Then we went to costco and bought 1 large case of strawberries. That was the perfect ammout of strawberries for this fun project. Or you will need about 6 small cases at the regular grocery store.

YOU WILL NEED!!!

5 cups of smashed strawberries (I like to leave some chunks)

1 box of surejell (Located in the canning good at the market)

Directions are in the box of sure jell

 6 cups of sugar (I KNOW THATS A LOT)

8 canning jars 8oz each

FIRST: BOIL jars and lids to make sure they are clean.

Smash strwaberies in a large bowl, leave chunks, add surejell. Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute ( this is when you are constantly stirring and it is boiling while you are stirring) then add your sugar bring back to a rolling boil for another minute. Remove from heat. It should be really runny like soup. Scrape off the bubbles from the top. Pour jam into jars using a large canning funnle. Fill almost full, Clean the tops of the jars before you put the lids on. Turn jars upside down and let cool overnight. To check if they are done the lid should not make a pooing sound. If it does make a popping sound something went wrong.

You dont have to put jam into the fridge because you boiled them. Go ahead and put them in your pantry for food storage. Or give them as a gift!!!

ENJOY!!! AMY~KINS
