Strawberry Jam!


Last week, we made some jam.  The first batch is runny, but delicious!

Did you know jam is 1 part berries to nearly 2 parts sugar!?  How did I not know this?  I will give it more respect from now on!

(We only had hamburger buns in the house, so I toasted them to get my sugar fix!)

  2. I have had great success using the low sugar jam recipe on Craving Greens with only 1/4 to 1/2 honey. I believe the recipe is the same or similar to the one found inside the package of No Sugar Needed Pectin

  5. I have wanted to try to make jam for a while now... last year I tried canning peaches and felt super domestic. ;) I believe that jam is more than half sugar! That explains why I like it so much!

  8. Yum! I made some strawberry freezer jam last week and it couldn't be easier! You don't have to cook the berries and it uses one part sugar to four part berries. My favourite type of jam!
