When it comes to canning I’m not that thrilled…yes, I love the home preserved food…but I don’t really have a canner. I have this…
…it’s a make shift canner…and it works…but I get burnt all the time because there isn’t a basket…I use a large mesh colander to keep the jars off the bottom…anyway, since there isn’t a basket I can only fit 6 - ½ pints in at a time…it takes forever to can anything.
So with that scary pot above and 5 cups of strawberry puree.
Plus 7 cups of sugar and one box of Pectin...
...mixed all together
You get strawberry jam... but only 1/3 of this. You have to to that two more time to get all this jam!
I was just finishing up my second batch of the jam and my brother walked in with this!!!! I can't tell you how thrilled I am. *doing a happy dance*
This is the last of the strawberries getting ready to be frozen. I'm truly thankful for my new canner and all this free produce!
