How to Make Nova Scotia Heavenly Jam

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries.
  2. Combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin in a large pot.
  3. Bring mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  7. Wipe jar rims clean, and place lids and bands on jars.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude).
  9. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
  10. Check seals by pressing on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed.
