In TODAY'S Video, We've Gone Strawberry picking and now need to use up many of these strawberries before they got bad. We (my husband and I) attempted to make Jam, It didn't turn out quit right. we also mad a strawberry cake and some Strawberry Oat Bars. Everything turned out amazing and I cant with to share them with you!!
Jam Recipe
(this the the recipe that came with the bread machine, which is what I used to make it.)
You will need
6 cups, about 2lbs of strawberries
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 box of fruit pectin
1 Tbsp of lemon juice
I just mixed everything together into the machine and let the machine do its thing!!
Strawberry Oat Bars
Ingredients
1 cup of Rolled Oats
1/2 cup of Flour
1/4 tsp of each: Cinnamon, Salt, and Baking powder
1/3 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of oil
2 cups of diced Strawberries
1 1/2 Tsp of Cornstarch or Arrowroot
1 Tbsp Sweetener of choice
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8X8 Pan with Parchment Paper.
In a Large Bowl, Stir together the oats, Flour, Cinnamon, Salt, Baking Powder, and sugar. Then stir in the Oil
Take 2/3 of that mixture and Press it Firmly into the bottom of the Baking pan, Saving the rest for the top.
In another Bowl, Stir Berries, Starch, and Sweetener together
Put the strawberry mixture on top of the Dough and then Top with the remainder of the the Dough and Press it down again.
Bake for 35 minutes and then let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour and enjoy !!
Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
1 box of cake mix
1 container of Icing
some strawberry Jam
some strawberries
we just mixed the Cake following the instructions on the back. However, we replaced water with Milk and Oil with Applesauce
Then dump mixture into Baking sheet and Place some strawberries into the mix.
Bake as the box indicates.
While that's Baking
If youd like you can mix the Jam in with Icing
After Cake as cooled you can add the icing and then top with Strawberries and there you have it ..

I would say for your jam the number one thing you did was use the bread machine. It doesn't bring the strawberries to the boil that you need. And you may have needed a little bit more pectin and then also putting them in a hot water bath after canning them thickens that as well. As you know I make strawberry blueberry Peach Jam every year so we should do it together one day you can use store-bought strawberries as well. But using the bread machine I think was honestly the biggest issue because it does not get to the correct temperature or the correct boil for the pectin to really do its job as far as a thickener. Miss and love you guys we need to get together ASAP❤❤

[@MonicaSimplyLivingLife]

Yes, Ill definitely need to try again
