Strawberry Apple Jam


Ingredients:

  • 2 pints of strawberries, tops removed and quartered
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
Preparations:
  1. In a large pot, combine strawberries, apples, and lemon juice. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. 
  2. With a potato masher, gently squish the mixture to break down the pieces of fruit until they are small enough to your liking. 
  3. Add in the sugar and stir until dissolved. Boil gently until the mix reaches 210 F, roughly 15 to 25 minutes. 
  4. Follow the steps in this link on how to can. Directions here. There may be steps you want to do in parallel to the jam making. Makes roughly six half-pint jars.
