Fantastic! I cut the sugar back to 1 cup and it was still a tad bit sweet for me so my next batch I’m going to do a little less than 1 cup. But this was easy and yummy!

This is THE best jam!!! I have made it a couple of times and it literally tastes like a jar of Smuckers! Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing 🥰

Hi,
I’ve been to making strawberry jam with our local SC sweet, super-ripe berries for the last couple of weeks.
It takes hours & I mean hours to get it to 220. I have to keep constant watch so it doesn’t burn. ai don’t understand how you can reach 220 in such a short period of time.
Am I making too big a batch? I’m using 3.5 lbs of berries, 3 cups sugar & 1/4 cup lemon juice.
I even invested in a digital candy thermometer.
HELP!!
Please respond quickly. I’m spending waaaaay to much time over a very hot pot of jam.

I added 1/2 TBSP of ground ginger. It turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe.

I had some strawberries that were going bad and I came across your recipe. I cut it in half because that’s how many strawberries I had. The jam came out great, it didn’t end up too sweet at all. I tried it with cheese on a cracker and it was delicious!

Wow
My first to make any jelly and I had to pick your recipe. I am HOOKED. I had a med sz container from the grocery and it made a little bitty mason jelly jar. The tiny jar is full of yummy flavors. The lemon and zest added to it. Thanks so much.

I’ve made this 3 times – the first time I only stirred occasionally and it burnt to the bottom of the pan lol. The second time I stirred constantly and it turned out great! A little sweet for my liking so the third time I put q cup of sugar per pound of strawberries and it was great! Still a bit sweet, but was JUST enough to set the jam. I wouldn’t recommend using any less sugar than that unless you want more of a sauce than a jam. Will definitely use this recipe again!
