Seasonal recipe: Small batch strawberry jam

Interested in canning jam but feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the process? This video shows you how to make a small batch without special equipment.

I found this video on Cooking Up a Story that makes creating your own jam and preserving it actually look doable. Canning is something I haven't tried yet, and I don't know when I'm going to get around to it. But with strawberries in season right now and other berries on their way, I thought sharing this video of someone who does know how to do it would be helpful.

I love Michelle Schocked! I have the Captain Swing album, tho haven't listened to in quite awhile. I think I'll put it on today.
There is a recipe on the website. Here it is:

I like that it's not as sweet as most store-boughts. Have you noticed many are beginning to leave out HFCS? They still use corn syrup, but it isn't as sticky-sweet as the ones with HFCS, imo.

And thanks to mnn for sharing the video!

I wanted to read a recipie, not see a video

Ever hear that Michelle Shocked song where she sings about the revolutionary qualities of making strawberrry jam? It's great. One time I listened to the album it's on, Arkansas Traveler, several times while cooking down strawberry jam. I just washed and cut the tops off a big pot of strawberrys and cooked it down with about two pounds of sugar. I figued it was done when it was thick. I put it in old jam jars, leaving it in the back of the fridge until I ate it. Worked out great. Nowhere near as.... More

Didn't mean to mislead

you with the headline. There is a recipe within the video. Wow - 2 pounds of sugar and not as sweet as store bought. What does that say about store bought?
