How do you Make Jam – Strawberry Jam

Strawberries are in season and they are deliciously inexpensive! Here’s a very easy and wonderful recipe for strawberry jam with balsamic vinegar. Very, very nice! Here is what you are going to need for this:

5 cups mashed strawberries (about 8 cups whole)
7 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 49 gr. pack pectin

Prepare your jars and get them hot.

Place the mashed strawberries in a heavy pot. Whisk in the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and pectin. Mix well. Bring to a boil, on high heat, constantly stirring. Add the sugar all at once and ring back to a rolling boil. Stir jam constantly for one minute. Turn off heat. Remove foam
from the top of your jam. Bottle and process as per jar instructions.

Dress up jar with a pretty label and a checkered piece of cloth over the lid. Give out as a gift or simply enjoy it yourself!

    Hi! The jam looks so delicious!
    My dad is diabetic, so I was wondering if the sugar could be substituted with sweeteners? Or would that not work with jam?
    Thank you!
