Miss Norma's Strawberry Jam--Delightfully Delicious!

This is my dear friend, Norma:

 

We've never met in person, but Norma called the shop last October, and we became fast friends.  We e-mail each other several times a week, and just share life stuff (and, of course share fabric & quilting news)!  Sometimes we even get to chat on the phone.

We share what I'll call a Very Healthy Affinity for Moda fabric (especially Kansas Troubles and Fig Tree), and for Miss Rosie patterns by Carrie Nelson!

Norma's just a Real Sweetie, and I'm so glad we met!

Well, moving on to Miss Norma's Strawberry Jam.

The Recipe

  

She uses the recipe in the Sure-Jell box (which we'll need to make the jam) so I won't repeat it here.

But, she also has a few helpful tips for us:

1.    Follow the directions exactly (I'm in trouble already) and don't try to double this recipe.

2.    Crush strawberries (but, not too much--or you'll get mush) in a colander, so the juices will drain.

 

3.    Use a large, deep pot bcause the jam will bubble (a lot)!

4.     Cook on high heat, stirring constantly, bringing berries and Sure-Jell to a hard boil.

 

5.    Add all seven cups of sugar at once (and keep stirrin').

 

6.    Bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down, and boil for one full minute.

7.    Pour into hot jars, and:

Voila:

  

The most delicious Strawberry Jam you've ever tasted! 

And don't you love Norma's Fig Tree Table runner -- it just shows off the yummy goodness perfectly!

Thanks so much for sharing with all of us, Norma (I told you guys she was a Sweetie)!

TTFN,

Kelly

Mmmmm! I make lots of RASPBERRY jam each summer but maybe I should try some Strawberry. I just don't know anyone who grows and sells strawberries like I do the Raspberries. We have two half pint jars of jam left and the berries won't be ready until July!!!!
