This recipe was taken from what appears to be a box of canning supplies or something??? I cut it out but now I can't remember where I got it! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
You will need:
3 cups crushed strawberries (about 2 lbs.)
3 kiwi, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
6 tablespoons Ball Classic Pectin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
5 cups sugar
Prep:
Wash strawberries under cold running water; drain. Remove stems and caps from the berries. Crush them one layer at a time using a potato masher. Measure 3 cups crushed berries. Peel kiwi and dice.
Cook:
Combine strawberries, kiwi, ginger, pectin, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam if necessary.
Fill:
Ladle hot jam into a hot jar, leaving 1/4" headspace. Remove air bubbles. Clean jar rim. Seal with lid and band. Place on the rack elevated over simmering water (180 degrees) in boiling-water canner. Repeat until all jars are filled.
Process:
Lower the rack into simmering water. Water must cover jars by 1 inch. Adjust heat to medium-high, cover canner, and bring water to a rolling boil. Process half-pint jars 10 minutes. Turn off heat and remove cover. Let jars cool 5 minutes. Remove jars from canner; do not tighten bands if loose. Cool 12 hours. Check seal.
Enjoy:
Use jam on toast, as an ice cream topping, or on whatever you think
sounds good!
