Preserve Blog Candy Winner, Great Recipes for Jam & Chutney

JustRite Preserves: - You don't need to make pickles to use this set. Check out the clever way Becca Feeken chose to use our canning jar image.

I would use the Jams Jellies Preserves stamps first with the recipe for Freezer Jam. I have wanted to try making freezer jam for years but never seem to get around to actually doing it. So the stamps would be a good motivator. As a child, I used to help my mother can peaches and tomatoes; delicious results but hot, hot work as we did not have air conditioning. The freezer jam sounds so much easier and cooler! Iris

Sue_W shares with us her favorite Jam & Jelly Recipe from her Strawberry Festival it just sound so YUMMY we knew we needed to post in the body of the blog so you could find it when you need it.


My all-time favorite is Strawberry-Lemonade Jam.


The recipe is as follows. (Please note that this recipe is for a double batch, yielding approx. 18 8 oz. jars. To make a smaller batch, simply halve the recipe.) Enjoy!


10 cups crushed strawberries
- Zest from 1 large lemon (no pith)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice PLUS fresh lemon juice squeezed from large lemon used for zest-
-Pat of butter
-2 boxes pectin

-14 cups sugar
In an 8-quart stockpot, stir together strawberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, pat of butter and pectin. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Do final rolling boil 3 minutes. Yumm-y!!
