How to Make Strawberry And Rainier Cherry Jam
- Combine thawed strawberries, pitted cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial for proper setting.
- Once boiling, maintain a rolling boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
- Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- 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).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" as the jars seal.
- 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.
