Can I give a tip to everyone? Use a Pyrex liquid measuring cup with the handle to pour ANY liquid, jelly, salsa, whatever in the jars...it fits perfectly in the canning funnel and you won't injure your shoulder raising it so high, nor burn your hands. 😊

She said, you need to keep the pot simmering. Then if you use your method on this JAM..it would not seal the jars. And you have ANOTHER pot to wash. Your method would not work with this jam.

I grew up in an old farmhouse with 12 foot ceilings and we would bring in a tall ladder to clean them. Light bulbs were a real pain. When my mother made jelly she would skim the foam and put it in a saucer. Whoever was helping in the kitchen would get the skimmings to eat on a biscuit. 😍

I have made apple, pear and peach Preserves. I am from the south and my family is calls anything that has pieces of fruit a preserve. Anything that has fruit pulp, but no pieces, jam. And what you make that is clear juice that has been strained, jelly I have always loved the pieces of fruit even as a kid... 😋 Thanks for the great videos of the Zimmerman! I have loved them. I am 73 and I can remember my grandmother and mother doing things that were 'way back when'. I still do! I can remember on wash-day at my grandmother's when she and a couple of her sisters with a big black pot suspended by a chain that hung on a tripod with a fire underneath it! No kidding, not teasing! I was little and had to stay on the porch just watching

[@Agrillot6]

Your explanation of preserves, jam and jelly sound right to me!

[@elzeniaallison7445]

I always wasted the rest of a can of tomato paste too. Then, I got the idea of freezing what was left in a baggie and freezing it. It worked great. If you flatten the bag you can break off pieces you need.

[@user-en4xl9li5f]

Just tried this recipe and had a partial jar left so we had that with pancakes for dinner. This recipe makes the absolute best strawberry preserves I've ever had!

[@user-pe9vf4ih8z]

FYI. I always do the hot pack method for my jellies as well, but I turn the jar upside down for a couple of minutes to really heat the lid then turn them right side up and let them cool and seal. Works every time...

Hi. What is the shelf life for storage this way? I do not eat a lot of jam so i like to make it so it stores. Take the flavor out i want at the time while others stay in storage

Don't you love the feeling of producing your own? You know exactly whats in it, and it tastes far superior than any store bought. I always do freezer jam for strawberry, but cook other types. I recently found that pure juice from the grocery makes beautiful jelly. My new favorite is sour cherry 🍒.

I have been doing my jam without pectin for years I really prefer it that way! The occasional time I had it to liquid it becomes ice cream topping or flavour for yogurt!

[@suellenw561]

When my Mom died on 2011, I inherited her recipe books & cards. She was born in 1920. She had a recipe for strawberry jam. The whole card says --- Strawberry Jam Equal sugar & berries Boil 30 minutes Seal at once (name of aunt who gave her the recipe) --- No pectin. No lemon juice. Think of JELLY as like Jell-o ... clear liquid turned to an almost solid, Jams & preserves both have pieces of fruit in the jelly. Preserves are generally larrger pieces of fruit.

When we made jelly/jam without pectin, we would boil until it would 'flake' off the spoon. But glad to know another way to check it too. Love FourJars lids.

Hi RuthAnn and precious family! This is how I make my strawberry jelly too, I have used less sugar when my father was alive since he was diabetic. Your pies look so delicious. I love ForJars lids, they are such a reliable product. I too was scrambling around for lids back then. I so appreciate all of your videos. I’m 62 years old and yes I still can everything I can get my hands on. I used to have a huge garden when my children where little. We processed our meat and that’s how we made it thru the winter keeping my family fed. My grandmother taught me to can when I was very young and I so enjoyed being with her and her teaching me all she knew.

The only thing is that you have to measure the amount of blended strawberries so you know how much sugar and lemon juice to add. 2 cups blended strawberries + 1 cup sugar+1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook as she does to thickness desired. Test for jelling. Jar when ready keeping jam on a simmer as you do so

[@dawnbowes6238]

Love watching your channel. Soo great! Thanks for sharing with all of us! FYI in case you wanted to know: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. Some fruits such as blackberries or raspberries will not stay whole during the processing so there may not be much difference between raspberry jam and raspberry preserve. Fruit spreads (only fruit): These are 100% fruit with no sugar added. If needed, a sweet fruit juice such as white grape juice or apple juice may be added. Because of the sugar in the fruit we cannot call these products sugarless. These spreads offer the most amount of pure fruit flavor. Butters: Butters are made from pureed fruit. They are not as sweet as preserves, jams, or jellies but offer a full fruit flavor. Butters are cooked for over 6 hours ,at a low temperature, allowing the product to thicken. Butters tend to be dark because of the exposure to air during the cooking. These are also available with no sugar added.

[@Ricebread343]

I may have missed something. Raw egg whites in with the strawberries. Are the cream pies baked? They look amazing and yummy

I thought I’d share with you the difference between jam, jelly and preserves just for the fun of it. No criticism on my part. Just trying to be helpful. Take care God bless. Karen Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit.

[@marthadueck6461]

The pies look so delicious. I’m so glad you showed what to do with a jar that didn’t seal. What you made would be called jam and jelly is lighter and smooth. Almost like jello. I usually add rhubarb or apples to my strawberry jam.

I like serendipitous experiences. I had seen the title of this particular video, but had not had time to watch it when I found myself in Costco. Our particular Costco happens to carry canning jars. They are by far the best price I can find for jars. There was a woman there, stating that fact, to which I readily agreed with her. her next comment was interesting, she stated that pectin this year was ridiculously expensive. I have no idea how much it is. But because I had seen this particular title, I told her about it and encouraged her to go onto KZbin and just search for no pectin jams and to include to the word Mennonite. I then came home and watched this video. I have to say I’m very excited to try this method, particularly after learning from that woman that the pectin is way more expensive. I thought it was too expensive last year! So I appreciate so much RuthAnn for your efforts in showing us how to make jams or preserves without pectin. Ty
