To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have no canning strawberry jam using 4 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make No Canning Strawberry Jam:
  1. Make ready 2.25 pounds strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered depending on size (about 5 cups)
  2. Get 1 +1/4 cup of sugar to start
  3. Make ready 1 tiny pinch of salt (as with most sweet recipes, this little bit of salt deepens and rounds out the flavors)
  4. Prepare 1 Tablespoon water

Preserve fresh pineapple by making a delicious pina colada jam in the water bath canner. Adding some great rum really kicks this jam up a notch.. Freshest Tasting Strawberry Jam because it manages to maintain that fresh picked strawberry flavor that you lose when the strawberries are The other important thing you'll need is some Instant Pectin. Not regular pectin, it needs to say "Instant".

Instructions to make No Canning Strawberry Jam:
  1. Put all the ingredients into a pot, stir to distribute the ingredients, and put the pot, uncovered on medium low heat until all the sugar melts and the mixture just starts to bubble. (Usually takes just under 10 minutes for me.)
  2. Turn the heat down to low and simmer, uncovered, for another hour or so, stirring occasionally. If you can scrape fruit solids off the surface of the pot, your heat's too high. It's better to err on the side of lower heat and longer cook time than to cook the fruit to the point that it begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Just a little of that mild burn can alter the whole batch in a way you might not like so much.
  3. About halfway through the simmer, take a potato masher or a fork and mash the berries to release some more of their natural pectin and to get the jam to the consistency you like. If you like more whole fruit, less mashing, but give it a few good mashes to aid the natural thickening.
  4. Check the sweetness 10 minutes before the jam is done to adjust and add more sugar if needed. Because I like my jam texture something like a thick compote (it's more versatile that way - I can eat it over ice cream, or with yogurt), I don't add pectin or gelatin, and I stop the cooking when the jam has the texture of a thick stew. When it cools, it'll thicken even more, but it won't be that solid gel texture of a storebought jam.
  5. Just berries, some sugar, and a little pinch of salt to get that unadulterated, concentrated, and delicious strawberry flavor. Enjoy! :)
