We Be Strawberry Jammin’….

Nothing speaks of Summer’s beginnings as does the strawberry.  We thought strawberry jam would be a great way to kick off our first jam session… easy for beginners, still fun for more seasoned preserve-makers.  Join us at 53 Bolton Road with the ingredients and equipment listed below.  (It might be best to stow everything in a laundry basket or box.)  For this recipe we won’t be doing a water bath, so no worries about actual canning pots; we’ll give that a go later in the season!  And feel free to alter/add to our suggestions (i.e. rhubarb, cointreau, etc…):

1 box sure-jell or pectin

2 full quarts of ripe strawberries

7 cups sugar

measuring cups

wooden spoon

large mixing bowl

cutting board

sharp knife

glass canning jars

new lids and rims

large 6 quart pot

drying cloth

PLUS anything else you can think of as necessary for having a good ol’ fashioned time.  See you Monday June 7th!
