Something I started doing after I married Kyle was get in on making strawberry jam with my in-laws. I’m not sure how long my MIL has been doing it but it is by far better tasting than any store bought stuff.<\/p>\n

\nWith all the kids it’s not as easy to get together for a day and make tons of jars for a few families. So I bought some strawberries and made a batch at home today. It doesn’t take long and I don’t have to buy jam…ever \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI made a lower sugar kind this time though. The original (checkout Lindsay’s blog post<\/a> for recipe) has more sugar than actual strawberries so I want to reverse that. Ha. Here’s the recipe! <\/div>\n

\nYou need: <\/div>\n
\nStrawberries (I bought a flat overflowing for $22 at a place just over the Michigan line on Cass. I am freezing what I don’t use for another purpose that I’m thinking another post on)<\/div>\n
\nSure.Jell PINK BOX for low sugar (bought at Martins with a coupon)<\/div>\n
\nBag of sugar<\/div>\n
\nWater<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n1 batch:<\/div>\n
\n1 cup water<\/div>\n
\n1 box pink Sure.Jell <\/div>\n
\n3 cups sugar<\/div>\n
\n4 cups crushed strawberries<\/div>\n
\n(Makes approximately 7 eight-ounce jars…cost for me was $5.00. Way cheaper to make yourself!)<\/div>\n

\n1. Cut off tops of strawberries and wash. You need 4 cups of crushed strawberries for one batch so it’s a full bowl. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n2. Mash strawberries with potato masher. Chunks are fine. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n3. Put 3 cups of sugar in a sauce pan of decent size, packet of sure.jell, and 1 cup of water. Stir over heat till boiling. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n4. Once it starts boiling, time for a minute and keeps stirring. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n5. Turn off heat when timer goes off and add 4 cups crushed strawberries. Stir for another minute. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n6. Add to your clean jars. Wipe any spillage off jar and top.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n7. Let sit on the counter for 24 hours and then put in freezer for up to you year. Take out and put in fridge to de-thaw. Enjoy! <\/div>\n
