This is the recipe that comes with Certo, and it is extremely simple. My daughters can't have the refrigerated bran muffins without this jam...also great on English Muffins, or spread some on the outside of your grilled cheese just before eating it - don't knock it til you've tried it!
Ingredients
- 1 quart fresh ripe strawberries shopping list
- 4 cups white sugar shopping list
- 1 envelope Certo (½ of a box) shopping list
How to make it
- Wash strawberries and remove stems and core; cut strawberries into fourths.
- Place them in a large bowl and mash the strawberries with a potato masher (I tried to use the blender once - I don't recommend it!).
- Add sugar to mashed strawberries and stir to blend.
- Let mixture set for 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Add Certo, and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
- Pour jam into small ½ cup (or whatever size you prefer) covered containers.
- Let filled containers set out on counter for 24 hours, and then place them in the freezer.
- Jam will keep in refrigerator for 6 weeks or more, and will keep in the freezer for a year.
- NOTE: This jam is thick, but not like store-bought jam - it will be slightly "runny" and we use a spoon to "drizzle" it over whatever we are using it on...great on bran muffins, cornbread, pop-overs, German Pancakes or Dutch Babies, toast, English muffins, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc.
