I blogged last year about making jam, and this is just a refresher post. Making jam is so super easy! We just follow the recipe in the low-sugar Sure-Jell box. It takes about 45 minutes, total (with the aid of a kid-friendly movie to distract our little guys from sneaking countless berries off the counter).
Equipment needed:
1. jars and lids
2. large pot for cooking the jam
3. larger pot for boiling the jars of jam
4. rack to set inside the larger pot, to set the jam jars on (we use a cooling rack that happens to fit in our pot)
5. tongs to lower the jars into/lift out of the boiling water
6. sugar, berries, sure-jell (6 pints of berries => 9 jars of jam)
General directions:
1. stem, rinse, dry, and mash berries
2. cook berries with sure-jell and sugar
3. pour jam into jars, put on lids
4. boil the jars of jam for 10 minutes
5. leave overnight to cool
Jamming is so super easy, and the result is fantastic, and it is so fun to pull out your own home-made jam all year!
