How to Make Strawberry And Rainier Cherry Jam

  1. Combine thawed strawberries, pitted cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial for proper setting.
  3. Once boiling, maintain a rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
  5. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  7. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" as the jars seal.
  8. Once cool, check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed! Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
