We are so excited at Casa Tiger, getting our entries ready for the 2023 Champaign County Fair, and also the Illinois State Fair! The Champaign entries are due 7/22/23, and the State Fair entries are due 8/15/23.
Our first entry is Strawberry Jam! This post will be in two parts -- the first part will just show how to make the jam and I reveal The Secret Technique we use to make sure the jam sets! The second part will show how to water-bath can the finished jars. I.e., the jars have to be processed to enter.
Strawberry Jam recipe:
4 c. finely-chopped strawberries
4 tbsp bottled lemon juice
7 c. sugar
1 pouch liquid pectin
1. Make the jam using The Secret Technique: video above
2. Ladel jam into jars leaving the proper amount of headspace: 1/2"
3. Wipe jars and rims clean with a wet towel so the glass jar is not left sticky.
4. Label jam with a sharpie
5. Water-bath can your jars of jam: video below (coming soon)
