Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh Strawberries
- 7 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Butter
- 1 3/4 ounces Powdered Pectin
Instructions
- Start by washing the strawberries and removing the tops and stems.
- Puree the strawberries in food processor, or use a potato masher to mash them.
- Place 5 cups of the crushed strawberries into a large saucepan and stir in the Sure Jell powdered pectin and 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
- Bring to a boil and allow it to rapidly boil for 1 minute.
- Add 7 cups of sugar and bring back to a rapid boil, again boiling for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam, although there shouldn’t be much as the butter helps to prevent foam from building up.
