Waterbath canning basics: Strawberry jam

Kirstie is in the Kerschner farmstead kitchen making some delicious strawberry jam. Canning has been such an important part of our farmsteading journey! We wanted to share with you the basics of waterbath canning to give you the confidence to begin canning in your homes.
The recipe we used is found in the Sure-Jell Pectin Pouch but we thought we would link it here also.
2 lbs fresh strawberries
7 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 pouch liquid pectin

Heres a tip...add a pat of butter to your jams and jellies and lay a wooden spoon across your pot. It WONT boil over!!!😁 YES IT WORKS. I do it to mine all the time.

[@kerschnerfarmstead]

Hi Tracey I'm so sorry I am just responding to your comment for some reason youtube had it held for review! I used to use butter, but because I have a family member that is allergic to dairy I stopped. Thank you for the tip though!

[@traceydysert6096]

@@kerschnerfarmstead that's ok. No worries. Thank you for responding. I appreciate your feedback & didn't think of that....allergies. Loving your videos. I know it's a lot of work.

So do I remove the lid after the ping sound and then store them?

[@kerschnerfarmstead]

Yes, you will take the ring off and you can wash the jar with soap and water if there is any jam residue or any stickiness on the outside and then store 😁. I'm sorry it took so long for us to respond for some reason youtube had your comment held for review!

Can i use the powder pectin instead of the liquid one?

[@kerschnerfarmstead]

For this recipe, no it can not be altered for dry pectin and the reason is that different types of pectin require different amounts of sugar and acidity to set. If you have powdered there should be a recipe in the box for strawberry jam, but the technique will be different 😁. Happy Canning! ~ Kirstie

Why not give the funnel and ladel a swipe in the boiling water too?
