Comments (14)Ksrogers...thanks for the tip about the canner. That is a very old canner handed down so it's seen some abuse. I wouldn't mind cleaning it up a little bit so I will try your tip! Mine water here at home isn't hard so hopefully one cleaning and I should be good. I have yet to try sourdough. I've wanted to expand my bread horizons a bit but time is tight and we just love this recipe so much. I was in heaven tonight when I had my fresh baked bread, with homemade strawberry jam, with homemade butter on it. Carol....I actually just used heavy cream from the grocery store this time....and used the Kitchenaid. I'm amazed how different it taste compared to the store bought stuff. I can't wait to try to make some other butters like garlic butter!...See MoreRemaking Cherry Berry Jam
Comments (1)"I used half a lemon in each batch for pectin". That won't help much.. Adding lots of sugar and a lot of cooking will be needed to get it to set without an added pectin. Lemon, if its the rind as well as juice may give you a little set, but because its of a citrus origin, it may need many weeks to set....See MoreCan I crush berries day before making jam?
Comments (10)As to the blueberries, I agree with last poster--I would make jam, or it would probaby end up more similar to a type of slow cooked butter with your pulp, only adding in extra juice if needed. Although, with blueberries, you could add a different juice for enhanced flavor. OJ would probably work, or a cranberry or pomegranate juice. I do my blueberry jam with a lemon verbena infusion. I also tend to do the prep on my fruit ahead of time, usually macerating with the sugars overnight. I generally start my jamming or canning at about 9pm, as I have two toddlers who are not particularly helpful at this point with canning and I wait until they're in bed. It helps immensely to have the fruit prepped, then I set out and measure all the other ingredients while they're getting ready, as well as getting the canner water boiling. Then, once they're asleep, I can knock off some jam pretty quickly and not stay up forever....See Moreraspberry jam - remove seeds, add more berries?
Comments (10)I don't know if you are averse to using pectin, but here is a recipe using Pamona's from the North American Raspberry and Blackberry Assn: Edited by Olychick: the recipe calls for 4 tsp pectin, but the directions call for 4 CUPS of pectin, obviously a typo.... 8 cups strained seedless black raspberry pulp 4 teaspoons calcium-water mixture prepared per Pomona's Pectin package 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 cups sugar 4 teaspoons Pomona's Universal Pectin Directions: For Fruit Mixture, combine black raspberry pulp, calcium-water mixture, and lemon juice in a 6-quart or 8-quart stainless steel pot. In a separate container, combine 2 cups sugar and 4 cups Universal Pectin. Heat Fruit Mixture slowly to boil. Turn down heat, add Sugar-Pectin Mixture to Fruit Mixture, mix for 2 minutes to dissolve sugar. Turn up heat (a bit above medium on a gas stove) Bring to good boil, turn off heat. Fill jars to 1/4 inch from top, apply lids. Process in hot water bath canner: 10 minutes at sea level, 15 minutes at 5000 ft altitude. Shelf life one year. Note from Pete Tallman: Standard supermarket pectin formulas like Sure-Jell don't work with such low sugar percentages. This recipe was developed according to cooked jam recipes from instructions included in Pomona's Universal Pectin, which is available at many natural food stores. See www.pomonapectin.com for list of stores. See Pomona's Universal Pectin recipes for use with alternative sweeteners.
