OMG!! I was always so intimidated to try canning but I finally bought a water bath canning kit and made strawberry preserves this weekend with fresh strawberries I picked from a local farm. I made a lower sugar recipe and this was a HUGE hit and so much fun!!! You really can taste your berries and its not too sweet. My next venture is peach and apricot preserves. Thank you Becky!
You go girl! I am doing the last of my frozen berries I picked I hope it turns out good lol I took a cup of each of my frozen berries, straw berries, blue berries, black berries, raspberries then added 1/2 cup of each to make my 6 cups , had no pectin but I did have strawberry jello so doing that along with sugar… taste great so I pray it does thicken
Even though I don’t garden or can food I find your videos so interesting and pleasant to watch. Thanks for all the work you put on the videos! I’ve been binge watching them! 😀
I'm sooo happy I found you. I never found somebody so close to what I want with my garden and house, as in a lifestyle! (the garden, the pantry, the soap, tea and also gifts) I'm really happy I found you and we are the same age!!! Never expected that, you have so much knowlegde and I can learn so much of you. Thank you for sharing. Ow and can I say I love your personality!!! You are doing great. Lots of love from the Netherlands
Okay!!! I’ve watched this 6 times and I’m doing it tonight!! My first ever canning and jam cooking session!! I’m prepared and I’m so happy I found your video to give me some confidence:)
Going to have to try this. BTW, you probably already know this, but if you soak your strawberries in a bath of water with a little vinegar, then rinse, and let dry, they will last a week or 2 in the fridge without molding. Love watching your videos- thank you for sharing. :)
Looks delicious! I don't bath the jars. I fill the jar with boiling jam, I clean the rim and close with the lid, then I turn the jar upside down and let it cool completely. I use simple lids, even recycled ones.
I have never commented before but really felt that I needed to say that you are the only person who has actually described what a rolling boil is, I am 74, living in the uk and make a lot of jam but never actually knew what rolling boil meant (my husband's favourite is Rhubarb and vanilla) so thank you I absolutely love all your videos.
That looks delicious! Just a tip I’ve been doing for years. I use my turkey roasting pans to process my jelly. I can fit 11 jars at once. I’ve never had a problem with them not sealing I use them right on the top of the stove with the lid on some people have a problem because the water doesn’t cover the top of the jar by 2 inches, but I’ve not had a problem with it. just what I do, my kitchen my kitchen my rules. 😉☺️
Everything you make looks so delicious. I wish I had half your energy. I would definitely be interested in a homemade ranch powder recipe as I love to give homemade food gifts as well.
Becky, I am so glad you showed up in my recommendations. I subbed. I have been enjoying your content and your energy! I have so many health issues, I no longer work; I remain amazed you work AND food prep full-time. I enjoy canning, when my fatigue allows me, and I give my jellies and jams as gifts.
@Lisa Huther....you sound just like me! I have a bad back so l am limited on when l can do things.l just found this channel and subbed as she is just a firecracker full of great info lol!
Who knew rolling boil is also known as roiling boil 😃 verb gerund or present participle: roiling 1. LITERARY make (a liquid) turbid or muddy by disturbing the sediment. "winds roil these waters" 2. US make (someone) annoyed or irritated. Loved watching this and when Becky mentioned pancakes and french toast I could have killed for that strawberry 🍓 jam. ❤️🔥❤️
Have you ever made Jelly/Jam from Plums? I make plum jelly and oh my goodness is it amazing. I make about 30 jars every year for our family and to give away. Not only does it taste amazing but the color is so beautiful. Our son lives out of state and when he comes home, he always asks for a pint or two of the plum jelly to take with him.
I have watched several of your videos it is so nice to see a young girl cooking. Not just cooking but cooking from scratch. Most girls are not interested in that. I have been cooking from scratch for my family for years I am 63 years old. You keep it going. YOU ROCK.
My dad made every type of jam and jellies every year. We never had a store bought jam in our house. He would skim off the foam and jar it up for us kids. It is my favorite!
Thank you for such an informative video! I recently canned some strawberry jam and blueberry jam for the very first time. All of your tips really helped me! I watched this a couple times until I felt comfortable and confident enough to give it a go on my own. ☺️
I used your recipe today, picked up a flat of strawberries from my local farm stand, they look so good, tasted the spoon, and so glad I followed your low sugar recipe, didn't need all that extra sugar. Thank you, definitely a keeper.
Making 6 mixed berry jam today, I gave jams for Christmas presents I am no longer buying gifts than no one remembers 2 years later who gave it or even if they used it but everyone remembers your home done preserves 😁
That was awesome! I usually do 1kilo strawberry with 300gr sugar (but I am from Serbia & our berrys are really sweet), just simmer it on low for a little longer.
I love this video! One suggestion: maybe when you can something like jam or relish, and you have a bit extra you put in the fridge, perhaps put a little clip at the end, showing you spreading it on toast or just showing the consistency, and giving it a taste. It ups the satisfaction for the viewer to really see the end product in action. Of course this won't work when you have a major canning day with multiple recipes, but at the end of this video I kept thinking "I wonder what it looks like fully jelled? I wonder if she was satisfied with the flavor?" Keep making great content!
➡️.. I KNOW.. im chatty... but we do learn from each other especially for me. In the commwnts... enjoying your vids hun.. ☺ I've always had a bit of trouble w jellies.. I will be making JAMS from now on... Yet another TIP.. I put a about half a bag of Magneium ,, urmm. EPSOM SALTS on all my fruit trees... as this makes the fruit bigger and sweeter also... my dad taught me this but he use a whole box of table salt. It replenishes minerals in the soil from normal delpetion and or erosions.. we had HUGE fig trees and giant sized fruit on it.. we did this every year.. and never caught diseases.. like. Never..
Hey Becky I’ve been making jams, preserves, jellies and chutney for about 50 years. I hope you don’t mind my telling you but the boiling you refer to is a “rolling” boil and not roiling! Please don’t take offence to my comment is not meant to be mean.
I know how to can jam because we made lots of jam when I was younger. Now i have a house full of kids so i don't have time to make jam but i pick all the berries from our yard we have raspberries, blueberries, strawberries that I grow but we live in Tennessee and we have wild blackberries everywhere so I pick tons of Blackberries and my mom picks all the berries in her yard she make a quadruple berry jam using all the berries I give her it's enough to feed 3 households for the year. I can the tomato sauce and my mom gives me all the extra tomatoes and peppers from her garden plus all the extras from my garden so I make all the sauce and she makes all the jam.
I also love using the low sugar recipe for the same reason...more fruit flavor! You can make a delicious variation on this recipe by simply adding a minced habanero pepper and the zest and juice of one orange to a double batch of jam. AMAZING flavor!! It pairs really well with cream chease and crackers. It make really great gifts also. You're awesome, keep up the good work ❣
Been enjoying your channel! My mother in law makes strawberry jam but she lives in another state. My husband misses it so much, I may have to give it a shot myself.
BECKY!!!!! If you really love the flavor of the real fresh strawberries in your jam...then don't make cooked jam!!! You should make freezer jam!!! Find the recipe in the Sure Jell box. You still put it in jars but don't have to can it...just put your jars in the freezer. It is quicker, easier and tastes so much better!! It's like eating them right out of the garden!! Love ya...Becky Jones in NC
But then it's taking up valuable freezer space. I could see this being a good option for small amounts but not for large batches like this and long term storage
hi, I'm from Iran. we usually use 2/3 of strawberry amount sugar but we slice strawberries not mashing them.and for blackcherry jam witch everybody loves use equal amount of sugar. Also we have quince, carret, fig jam.
I do 1 measure strawberries to half measure sugar and that's it, no pectin, salt or anything else, I add vanilla beans if I have them and just cook on low to medium heat, stir and remove foam- it takes longer but you get the best strawberry jam ever. I don't know why complicate things. I wash my jars and put them in the oven to disinfect and put hot jam in hot jars.
@@AcreHomestead I forgot - clean the strawberries and put the sugar in and leave it till the sugar melts, you can leave it over night, and you don't need to cut or smash the fruit, it falls apart while cooking and you get small pieces intact. What I've learned watching my mom and grandma is how to make my life easy, so I do small batches, and I put it on the stove on Sunday morning, you don't have to stir it like when its on high heat and the whole house smells amazing :) I know its done when i put spoonful on the plate let it cool, tilt and if it wrinkles while moving it's done. Same process for plums ( I always add cinnamon), but for apricots you want it hot and fast so it doesn't change color. Hope this helps :)
I just canned my first jelly! Made from wild picked mustang grapes. You make it less intimidating than others, so you helped me take the plunge. Loved it and will def be making more!
Watching you make strawberry Rhubarb preserves has me salavating!! I can't find it in Whole Foods & I love it ! Sadly hubby doesn't like rhubarb at all, strawberry🍓 he loves. I've had double wrist surgery, so I can't do a lot if the things I used to anymore. I wish I lived closer to you, I'd buy some of your preserves. You'd have a booming cottage industry! 😇🥰 Awesome job Becky!!
No matter the flavor of jam I make, for 50 years, I have always measured 1 cup less sugar, 1 cup more fruit. Sometimes the jam came out a tad bit thinner, but I would use those in other recipes. If it was real thin, I labeled it syrup. But it didn't happen all that often so sometimes I just had to make syrup for pancakes, ice cream, and such.
In Australia we call this Jam and goes on sandwiches and is spreadable. Jelly is something that sets firm and goes in the fridge and you eat with ice cream or fruit
I don't like sweet sweet strawberry jam/preserves either. I also add lemon juice and zest to mine. It's my fave too. I just ran across a Strawberry Jam cake. I adapt recipes like you do too. Basically I just put jam in the cake mixture from scratch, then added some to the icing as well. Then I put a layer of strawberry jam in between each cake layer first, then the icing. The cake was super moist and delicious.
I missed my strawberry season last year and my strawberry harvest was just enough to snack on while I was in the garden. So, I had to use frozen strawberries, it is just OK. Next year, I will, go to my local farmers market and load up.
Use a touch of water mixed with baking soda to scrub the burnt on portion on the enameled cast iron pans. If that doesn't work boil water and baking soda it helps
I really enjoy a more fruit tasting jam’s my husband makes diabetes in a jar concept for his jam and jelly’s but considering I am the one who does the canning and not him I get to make it the way I like it I told him when he starts to help me then he will have a say in the sweetness of the jam in the future 😮
Thank you for that bit at the beginning where you show us putting on your apron! I'm sewing an apron right now and couldn't decide how to do the straps but I'm going to do a variation of the kind on yours. So thank you loads!
My grandparents' favorite Christmas gift from me was always my home canned foods. I would save a pint jar box and fill it back up with an assortment of vegetables, pickles, jellies and sometimes a jar of two of homemade soup. They were always very good about returning the jars for refills! 💕💕
i JUST canned thirty jars of strawberry jam on monday and used the same low sugar pectin. it turned out great and the smaller amount of sugar isn’t noticeable to me at all. 👍 i also canned in pints this year for the same reason. great minds think alike 😜
I have to admit I keep scrolling past your videos but once I watched you….what a sweetie you are and so intelligent too with preserving. I’m a new subscriber and I appreciate your videos💜. God bless🙏
If you make strawberry jam again this year use vanilla sugar if you make that, which I am sure you do. It just brings it to a new level of deliciousness.
I love making jam and jelly. I have alway had a stash of fruit that gets alittle over ripe in my freezer. I make single flavors if i have enough or i combine it and make mixed fruit. The loquats from my parents tree make the best jam ever!!
I made my last strawberry jam with 1 cup of sugar to 4 cups berries using a different pectin called Pomona's Universal Pectin. You can use any kind of sweetner. My 1st batch I used 1 cup honey...my 2nd I used 1 cup sugar....and yes it turned out great.
Hi Becky, you make it look so easy. I'm gonna have to try the lower sugar recipe. I made peach jam last month and it's really sugary. And plus putting the pink salt it in,great idea
I made this today and it is seriously the best strawberry jam I have ever had! I used to love pear butter best, but this is my new favorite. Thank you!
My friend lives out there and swears that your strawberries are much better than anything we had over in Virginia when we lived there. She is like you full of energy.
I don't like sugary jams either. I just made a portion of strawberry rhubarb jam and it's wonderful. I also blend lot of strawberries and freeze them with a pinch of sugar in silicone trays. I then throw them into yoghurts and smothies - I recommend it! Hugs from Poland!
I think you've coined a new phrase, " roiling boil." Love to see that on a Tshirt!! I found this video bc I was looking for videos about how to get rid of foam (dairy free) I'm glad you don't worry about it. I won't either.
The 1sr time I saw that huge stainless steel bowl, it was love at 1st sight! 😂😂😂 I so want to have a few of those! They would be so practical for my baking! 😆😆😆
I am way late on this video but I have a recipe I love that takes less sugar and no pectin. It is a big recipe but I have more than quartered it and it has come out great 24 cups strawberry puree 9 cups sugar 3/4 cup lemon juice Mix pureed berries, sugar and lemon and cook down until thickened. You can put a snack dish in the freezer and once cold place a small amount of jam on the dish to test if it is cooked down enough. Once to desired consistency jar and water bath for 10 minutes
You are so amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Yes I can! I used to go to WinCo a local discount store in WA, OR, ID but I haven't lately due to time. I have been doing walmart pick ups and Costco. I don't store water but I really should
Thank you so much for this video and recipe! I made jam and canned it this past weekend..My first time ever doing either of those things and it went great and tastes amazing! We used all strawberries grown in our own garden. Thank you again!
@@AcreHomestead we tried it today on homemade bread.....so good! The strawberry flavor is perfect. We made (9) 16oz jars with a double batch. My friend is already planning on buying more strawberries to make more jam. 😁 If I can convince her to video it, I'll share it with you. 💕
This girl is literally the human representation of the phrase, "Go big or go home." I love it!
She's awesome and explains so good!! I just love all her videos!
Agreed! That’s why I love her! There’s no project too big for her.
LOL. She goes big and then doubles the recipe! LOL
@@shirleywagner1380 p loop we😊😊😊😊😊p
I guess so are the rest of us trying to do the same thing then 😅
I would rather get homemade gifts over other stuff! Great job!
I totally agree! Thanks!
I would like them but worry about people who may not practice safe canning.
Time and love are the greatest gifts.

Totally agree with something to balance all the sugar... I use a tablespoon or so (depending on how large the batch is) of lemon juice
This gal is so cool! I love how she explains canning..she makes it look easy.

Who knew rolling boil is also known as roiling boil 😃
verb
gerund or present participle: roiling
1.
LITERARY
make (a liquid) turbid or muddy by disturbing the sediment.
"winds roil these waters"
2.
US
make (someone) annoyed or irritated.
Loved watching this and when Becky mentioned pancakes and french toast I could have killed for that strawberry 🍓 jam. ❤️🔥❤️
I came to the comments to ask about "roiling" as opposed to "rolling". I've never heard of roiling boil, only rolling boil.
I kept saying rolling too! Thanks for the clarification
According to Food Network both roiling and rolling can be used interchangeably. I've always said roiling. lol.

I haven't but i have a plum tree and I didn't get enough plums last year to make any jam or jelly but I think I should this year!
Plum jam sounds so good. I never have had that but it makes me want to track down some plums and give it a try

And you can cut the sugar even more, tastes like bright fresh berries instead of tooth tingling sweetness!
But then it's taking up valuable freezer space. I could see this being a good option for small amounts but not for large batches like this and long term storage
I'm going to do this recipe. When you make it yourself, it taste way better, plus I also love giving them as gifts. Thank you Becky. ❤

I make strawberry jam here in Mississippi when the strawberries are brought to our local market. I make the freezer jam which is so good.
I just canned my first jelly! Made from wild picked mustang grapes. You make it less intimidating than others, so you helped me take the plunge. Loved it and will def be making more!
I love home made gifts, honestly that's where the love is.
My MIL taught me to make big batches of jam using my Turkey roaster. Use two burners and place the roaster over both burners. 🥰
Great idea!
Watching you make strawberry Rhubarb preserves has me salavating!! I can't find it in Whole Foods & I love it ! Sadly hubby doesn't like rhubarb at all, strawberry🍓 he loves.
I've had double wrist surgery, so I can't do a lot if the things I used to anymore. I wish I lived closer to you, I'd buy some of your preserves.
You'd have a booming cottage industry! 😇🥰 Awesome job Becky!!
Thank you for all your hard work and especially for showing us tips and tricks of canning.

I agree, this is definitely the best low sugar strawberry jam recipe.
During Canning Season I literally need more countertop, 2 stoves and 2 sinks. 🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoy a more fruit tasting jam’s my husband makes diabetes in a jar concept for his jam and jelly’s but considering I am the one who does the canning and not him I get to make it the way I like it I told him when he starts to help me then he will have a say in the sweetness of the jam in the future 😮
Thank you for that bit at the beginning where you show us putting on your apron! I'm sewing an apron right now and couldn't decide how to do the straps but I'm going to do a variation of the kind on yours. So thank you loads!
My grandparents' favorite Christmas gift from me was always my home canned foods. I would save a pint jar box and fill it back up with an assortment of vegetables, pickles, jellies and sometimes a jar of two of homemade soup. They were always very good about returning the jars for refills! 💕💕
Thank you
Love&Light 🍓
I use 8 cups strawberries and 3 cups of sugar 1 lemon and small lime and the less sugar pectin it works great!
i JUST canned thirty jars of strawberry jam on monday and used the same low sugar pectin. it turned out great and the smaller amount of sugar isn’t noticeable to me at all. 👍 i also canned in pints this year for the same reason. great minds think alike 😜
Haha love that!
I have to admit I keep scrolling past your videos but once I watched you….what a sweetie you are and so intelligent too with preserving. I’m a new subscriber and I appreciate your videos💜. God bless🙏
I love strawberry jam and rhubarb jam but 1 of our favourite is rhubarb and ginger jam. X
If you make strawberry jam again this year use vanilla sugar if you make that, which I am sure you do. It just brings it to a new level of deliciousness.
I make my strawberry jam with lavender sugar. Such a lovely floral note you can't get from the store.
I love making jam and jelly. I have alway had a stash of fruit that gets alittle over ripe in my freezer. I make single flavors if i have enough or i combine it and make mixed fruit. The loquats from my parents tree make the best jam ever!!
Oh interesting, I have never tried a loquat before
@@AcreHomestead i just cook them in enough water to cover and then strain the juice off because the seeds are hard to remove.
The jam looks so good. I never canned. You inspire me to try it😋
You should! But be warned you will become addicted!
I made my last strawberry jam with 1 cup of sugar to 4 cups berries using a different pectin called Pomona's Universal Pectin. You can use any kind of sweetner. My 1st batch I used 1 cup honey...my 2nd I used 1 cup sugar....and yes it turned out great.
That is awesome!
Canned your recipe as my very first thing ever! Flippin Delicious! AND all my seals popped!!! Tysvm
Fresh jams are the best!
Thank you Becky ❤
Pumona pectin and honey - it uses a fraction of the sugar and is delicious!
Yum!! Thanks for the recipe with less sugar I also love the taste of the fruit and prefer less sugar
You will LOVE it! It's soo good.
Hello
Hi Becky, you make it look so easy. I'm gonna have to try the lower sugar recipe. I made peach jam last month and it's really sugary. And plus putting the pink salt it in,great idea
Love that top, so glad you kept it.
Yes! Thank you!
I made this today and it is seriously the best strawberry jam I have ever had! I used to love pear butter best, but this is my new favorite. Thank you!
I love pancakes with jam! I have even used fruit cocktail! I prefer them over syrup.
Same here!
My friend lives out there and swears that your strawberries are much better than anything we had over in Virginia when we lived there. She is like you full of energy.
Oregon strawberries are amazing... they are super sweet on their own. :)
I don't like sugary jams either. I just made a portion of strawberry rhubarb jam and it's wonderful. I also blend lot of strawberries and freeze them with a pinch of sugar in silicone trays. I then throw them into yoghurts and smothies - I recommend it! Hugs from Poland!
Awesome! :)
Stir the jam in one direction only, it will help reduce the foaming x
If you don’t want to add sugar , you can buy Pomona’s universal Pectin on Amazon . That one does not need sugar to work.
Just made this and it was a success! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and practical processing🥰
I made this today and it came out absolutely perfect!! Thanks for the great tutorial
Yay!!! Thank you for letting me know :)
Hello
I think you've coined a new phrase, " roiling boil." Love to see that on a Tshirt!!
I found this video bc I was looking for videos about how to get rid of foam (dairy free) I'm glad you don't worry about it. I won't either.
The 1sr time I saw that huge stainless steel bowl, it was love at 1st sight! 😂😂😂 I so want to have a few of those! They would be so practical for my baking! 😆😆😆
I love it!
I am way late on this video but I have a recipe I love that takes less sugar and no pectin. It is a big recipe but I have more than quartered it and it has come out great
24 cups strawberry puree
9 cups sugar
3/4 cup lemon juice
Mix pureed berries, sugar and lemon and cook down until thickened. You can put a snack dish in the freezer and once cold place a small amount of jam on the dish to test if it is cooked down enough. Once to desired consistency jar and water bath for 10 minutes
You definitely know cooking, newbies might not be able to follow along but I really like your blog.
Hello. Sharon
I love how you say a “royaling boil” but here in England we say a “Rolling boil” x
You are so amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Yes I can! I used to go to WinCo a local discount store in WA, OR, ID but I haven't lately due to time. I have been doing walmart pick ups and Costco. I don't store water but I really should
Thank you so much for this video and recipe! I made jam and canned it this past weekend..My first time ever doing either of those things and it went great and tastes amazing! We used all strawberries grown in our own garden. Thank you again!
I just made this and it turned out amazing! Thank you for sharing, Becky!! 🎉
I just started making jam this year and found it too sweet, so this is really useful thanks.
I hope you love it!
You make the best videos! I'm have a bunch of gifted strawberries and peaches to process today!
Love your channel! Thanks for sharing
Oh yay! I’m glad you are enjoy it! I’m glad you are here :)
Hello. Toyhunter
Yum love strawberry jam
A friend and I made your recipe today. We doubled it! I'm excited to see how it tastes tomorrow.🤩
OH MY GOSH!! I feel honored!! Let me know how you like it!!!
@@AcreHomestead we tried it today on homemade bread.....so good! The strawberry flavor is perfect. We made (9) 16oz jars with a double batch. My friend is already planning on buying more strawberries to make more jam. 😁 If I can convince her to video it, I'll share it with you. 💕
I'd love to see a video on how you use up your food stores!
Hi Becky, I love your channel! You should make freezer jam for the ultimate fresh strawberry flavor. Way better than canned IMO
I made this this past weekend, thanks Becky… I’m soooo proud
