Strawberry sauce.
Strawberry Nectarine Jam:
5 C diced/sliced fruit
1 pkg. surejell
1 Tbs. lemon juice
7 C sugar
Wash and prepare fruit. I sliced the strawberries rather than mash them. Put in a kettle add lemon juice and sure jell. Bring to a rolling boil, dump in sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 min. Put into clean jars. Hot water bath for no more than 10 min. till lids are sealed.
I always spoon off the foam...you can eat it too...
I don't know why my mom did this...but, I do too. When jars are still warm put on your counter upside down. This moves the fruit chunks evenly too.
Strawberry Freezer Sauce:
sliced strawberries
1 pkg of jello
sugar to taste
Wash and cut up strawberries. Add one package of jello, this keeps your sauce thicker and really red. Add sugar to taste. This is also one of my mom's ideas. Once you do this freezer sauce this way, with the jello, you won't do it any other way.
Seal in bags. It will be so good on a cold January evening.

looks good :) That's interesting that you turn the jars upside down. I might have to try that

Oh no! I'm frightfully behind on my canning! The kids and I picked berries, but we found reasons to eat them before they ever got to the canner. lol Back to the fields for me!
ReplyDeleteI bet your mom turned them upside down to stop the floatng fruit. I'll have to try that. :-)
