    Make summer last well into the winter with strawberry jam

    Trilyn, You can but you have to use the "no sugar added" pectin. It's a pink box instead of the yellow one. You might want to experiment w/ 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda. I find that cooking with Splenda makes it bitter. I'd also look at forums just for canning to see what others have done & to...

    Make summer last well into the winter with strawberry jam

    I just got one on ebay. Think it's a 16qt Mirro. It's a 7-quart load. Check out the reviews of them online & get what suits your needs. I get most of my jars on craigslist.org. I recently advertised to trade eggs for jars and am getting 5 doz jars for 7 doz eggs. We set up a "subscription"...

    Make summer last well into the winter with strawberry jam

    Don, my friend, I'm just getting going! This is my first canning of the year. Last year I canned about 300 jars over a period of several months. I've got to inventory my jars tomorrow, both full and empty, to see what we ate, didn't eat, and how many jars I've got for summer 2009 canning...

    Make summer last well into the winter with strawberry jam

    The Pacific Northwest has the best environment in the country for strawberries and rhubarb. In fact, some 80% of the nation's rhubarb comes from Sumner, a nearby city. I bought my strawberries in the Puyallup (pew-ALL-up) valley. Puyallup was known in the '30s and '40s as THE place to grow...
