Really Easy And Good Sugar Free Strawberry Jamspread Food

STRAWBERRY JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the jars, lids and rings with hot, soapy water, making sure to rinse well. To sterilize the jars and keep them hot, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 175°F (79°C) oven OR in your water bath canner while cooking the jam. Place a small glass plate in the freezer.
• In a large bowl, crush the strawberries and stir in the sugar. Let sit for 1 hour to allow the berries to release their juices. (Or up to 24 hours in the fridge.)
• Add the lemon juice and grated apple. Transfer the mixture to a large stockpot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil that can't be stirred down, set a timer for 20 minutes. Turn off heat.
• Test for doneness - Remove the glass plate from the freezer and drop a spoonful of the hot jam on the plate. Put the plate back into the freezer for 2 minutes. Remove the plate and run your finger through the jam. If the line stays separated, your jam is ready to be jarred. If the line closes, boil the jam for 5 more minutes and repeat the test.
• Ladle the hot strawberry jam into clean, sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace at the top. Remove air bubbles and wipe the rim of the jar to remove any residue. Center the canning lid on the jar and adjust the band to fingertip-tight.
• If not canning, let the jars cool completely, tighten bands and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

• Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in granulated sweetener or no-calorie sweetener packets. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes.

EASY LOW SUGAR NO PECTIN STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Cut the stem off the fresh fruit, being careful not to include any green bits along with the berries.
• Rinse the fruit very thoroughly. This will remove any bits of stem, and remove some of the small hair and fibers on the outside of the fruit.
• As you prepare the fruit, it's okay to use very ripe berries.
• They will taste better and make a better jam. In fact, it's better to have nearly over ripe fruit than just barely ripe.
• The berries are softer, sweeter, and have more natural sugars.
• Add the berries and mash them in batches.
• I usually mash two or three cups at a time, just to make sure I don't miss a berry and end up with an outsized chunk at the end.
• Put the fresh berries in a large, tall cooking pot and add the sugar, lemon juice, and water.
• Bring the mix to a roaring boil on high heat, stirring regularly.
• The boil needs to be strong, one that does not diminish when you stir.
• Maintain this level of boil for at least 20 minutes.
• Stir regularly and watch the heat, turning it down to medium-high heat as the jam thickens to avoid burning.
• When your jam begins to thicken and has reduced by nearly half, you can check to see if it's done.
• Total cooking time is over 30 minutes.
• When you're sure it's set, pour it into sterilized jars, or clean plastic storage containers, and let it cool on the counter.
• Be careful not to spill, as it is very hot and will give you a nasty burn.
• The hot water from the pot should be handled carefully as well.
