The ingredients needed to make Light Strawberry Jam:
- Prepare 2 lb crushed strawberries
- Prepare 1 cup unsweetened white grape juice
- Take 3 tbsp Ball RealFruit Low or No-Sugar Needed Pectin
Measure out exactly two (gently-packed) cups of diced strawberries. Rather than the warm strawberry sweetness shining through, the lemon flavour dominates and while lemon does compliment strawberry, I was looking for a more traditional jam taste. The jam was difficult to get set and the addition of lemon to remedy it just further took away from the flavour I was hoping for and still left me with a rather saucy jam. Add the strawberries and continue to cook over very low.
