This is great recipe. I had a dinner party for my father-in-law and had 6 quarts of store bought strawberries left over. I also used bottled lemon juice and a cap full of pure vanilla extract (as fresh was not available when I made it). I used a candy thermometer and boiled it to 220 degrees F. I only got 4 pints and 2 small jars (maybe you meant it makes 6 half-pints??). I then water bathed it for 5 minutes, but I am sure it would have sealed otherwise. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

This recipe doesn’t need to be put in a water bath?

Just discovered your blog and I’m enjoying it! I can relate to this post. I have a community garden plot in Allentown and a big ol’ strawberry patch. There’s still some sorbet left in my freezer that my will power has kept me from destroying. It’s there for an emergency!

Thanks! I’ll be braver next time. In the meantime, what I made is perfectly useable, just a little on the watery side. Not really a problem at all.

Sorry to hear it turned out a bit runny…you really do have to boil the heck out of it. I’m talking about leaving the heat on high the whole time and the jam spitting and gurgling like crazy. You won’t ruin it with too much boiling, don’t worry. Definitely keep boiling it until it set up on the freezer plate test. I promise it works! You just have to keep the boil up high. That’s why you need a really big pot to deal with how much it expands and spits at you.
