Strawberry Jam: yields 4 pints
2 qts strawberries
1/4 cup lemon juice
7 cups of sugar
1 pkg powdered pectin
wash and crush the berries...combine berries, lemon juice & pectin in a large saucepot....bring to a boil...stirring often....add sugar...stir until dissolved...return to a boil....boil hard for a couple of minutes...remove from heat...skim top if necessary....ladel hot jam into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace....process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
just about every canning recipe we use is in the Ball Blue Book
tonight we had Beef Brisket in the crock pot, salad and the swiss zopf braided bread that I made a few weeks ago.
got a few inches of snow this morning and supposed to get more tomorrow morning, been a mild winter so far...we can handle a little bit of snow....then back to the 40's later in the week.
Pleasant Dreams!!!
We started this blog January 1 of 2012 with the goal to make as much as we could from the farm.....we had a wonderful year long journey and plan to continue on in 2013...not everyday as we did in 2012, but the spring, summer and fall should be quite active. Throughout this year, we will post recipes, planting of seeds and the garden, beekeeping, our successes and our mess ups....and keep you updated on our progress!
