Strawberry Jam
You can substitute a portion of the strawberries with other fruits to make different combinations. I made a second batch substituting two cups of rhubarb for two cups of the strawberries and it turned out fantastic!

Ingredients
Units
- 3 pints (2 1/4 pounds) strawberries, sliced (washed and hulled)
- 1 1/4 cups light honey (I used clover)
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or fresh orange juice
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, peel and seeds removed, cut into a small dice
Instructions
- Place strawberries, honey and Grand Marnier in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and add the apple pieces, stirring occasionally. Simmer slowly for 25 – 35 minutes until mixture reaches 220ºF (if the jam is cooked too quickly, it will not set. Make sure to cook on a very low simmer for at least 25 minutes). Cool jam to room temperature, spoon into jars, cover with lids, and store in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. You can also sterilize the jars using the method in the above video to preserve the jam for future use.
Note: I only test the recipes on my site with the listed ingredients and measurements. If you would like to try a substitution, you are welcome to share what you used and how it turned out in the comments below. Thanks!
