Sure Jell Strawberry Jam

Ingredients

  • 5 cups crushed strawberries
  • 7 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box Sure Jell fruit pectin
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water. Keep them warm until ready to use.
  2. In a large pot, combine the crushed strawberries and Sure Jell fruit pectin. Stir well.
  3. Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the granulated sugar all at once and return the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  5. If there is any foam on top of the jam, skim it off with a metal spoon. Stir in the optional butter to reduce foaming.
