How to Make Old Fashioned Strawberry Jam 3 of 3

[evanbutris]

Hi Sheila,

I am not much of a butter person, can I not add the butter? If I don't add the butter what would happen other than having to remove more foam from the boil? If I do have to add butter, can I use "Fake Butter" and still get the same results?

Thanks, Evan

thank you brian for doing this for others. I used to watch my gradmother do jam as well but could never help with the process. the is the same way she used to do it. I am so glad I found these video. I did save them for reference. My store has strawberries for 1.00 a carton. Will be doing this, this weekend.  Tell Miss Shelia thanks for me.

I have watched all three videos and made a HUGE batch with 4KG of strawberry's. here in Spain the supermarkets are flooded with them at this time of year.

I now have 8 big jars of the best jam and several very satisfied friends..... thank you for your help...old school is always best in my book!

As soon as the strawberries are ready here I will try her recipe. Thank you so much for making this video and thank you Mrs. Black for sharing your recipe with us!! =)

4 cups of berries before or after smashing? Thank you.

Hello Mrs. Black:

Can you please tell me what you do after you fill the jars? Do you leave them on the counter for a day for them to set after they "pop"? Or do you store them in the refrigerator? Once they set, do you have to keep them in the refrigerator or can you store them in the pantry? How long can you keep them until they go bad? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to do it correctly.

Thank you,

Lois

Such a lovely woman and a wonderful recipe. I have never seen jam made without the commercial pectin and am so looking forward to trying this. God bless you both!

[aeigonia]

i have a foam problem in a large scale jam making (via vacuum). can butter solve the problem of loosing material through excessive foam?

[brianpfs]

I have never made jam in the vacuum cleaner but a small amount of butter certainly works with smaller batches. A slower alternative is to use a metal spoon and scrape off foam as it occurs. The amount of foam seems to lessen as the cooking time progresses. Perhaps one of the American canning companies would be willing to share their procedure.

Thank you for your interest.

Thank you Mrs. Black for a wonderful recipe, I tried it and I love it! I do not live near a farm so I purchased my strawberries and I had no problems. I will cherish this recipe in my family for years to come! I was looking for a recipe that I could avoid using the store pectin in a box, because I can taste it in other recipes even though it was slight I did not like the taste of the pectin, so your recipe is a winner in my book! Happy Holidays from my family to yours, Cheryl from NJ.

One more question - how should the jam be stored? In the fridge or can it be left in the cupboard? How long will it last?

[ashleyandlee]

Thanks for the videos!! I have been wanting to make homemade jam for a long time and now I finally know how! I'm going to make some using this recipe to give as Christmas gifts this year! Thanks again!
