Recipe type: Appetizer, Breakfast, Food Gift
Serves: 14
Ingredients
2 ½ quarts strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 – 12 oz. package cranberries (fresh or frozen)
5 pounds sugar
2 – 3 oz. packages liquid fruit pectin
Additional Materials:
Mason jars
Printable Gift Labels (hole-punched) – print on white cardstock for best results
Decorative ribbon or strong glue to attach labels to jars or lids
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the strawberries and cranberries. Depending on preference, fruit may be processed to a finely chopped texture for a chunkier jam, or completely smooth.
Pour the processed fruit into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add sugar over medium-high heat, bring the fruit and sugar mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove the pot from the heat and add the liquid fruit pectin, stirring to mix completely.
Allow the jam to cool for 5 minutes, and then skim off the layer of foam on the top.
Quickly ladle the hot jam mixture into sterile half-pint jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean, cover with lids and screw on the jar bands. Process the jars for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
Notes
This recipe will make 14 half-pint jars. Adjust accordingly to make the amount you would like.
