This year the strawberry crop is huge, sweet and delectable. With all this bounty it’s time to make jam! Here’s how to put summer in a jar using a low sugar Pomona Pectin recipe.

Find strawberries at the peak of ripeness. Avoid fruit that is overly ripe as the jam won’t taste good.

Mix up calcium water then add pectin powder to your sugar. I used four cups berries and two cups sugar for this batch.

Bring mashed strawberries with calcium water to a boil then add sugar and pectin. Stir thoroughly and bring back to a boil. Boil one minute then put in jar.

Put the filled jars in a water bath canner and boil for 10 minutes. Check seals once jars have cooled.
I'd love to hear from you!
