How to Make Less Sugar Canned Strawberry Jam

  1. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a large pot. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Once boiling, add the Sure-Jell pectin. Stir vigorously for one minute.
  3. Continue to boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle quickly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe jar rims clean and seal with lids and rings.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude as needed).
  8. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
  9. Let the jam rest for at least 24 hours before enjoying. Store in a cool, dark place.
