Strawberry orange preserves

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Nonstick cooking spray
10 cups Large and small whole strawberries
1 large Thin-skinned orange;, washed, halved, with
7 cups Sugar

Directions

Spray inside of pot with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and hull berries.

Remove all small berries and set aside. Crush or mash remaining berries coarsely in a food processor or by hand (hand method is messier but best).

Grind the orange in a food processor until it is a fine paste. Combine reserved whole berries with crushed berries and pureed orange and mix well.

Place fruit and sugar in pot and stir over medium-low heat to melt sugar and incorporate into fruit. As sugar dissolves, increase heat to medium-high and simmer jam until foam forms. Remove foam with slotted spoon. Continue cooking until jam tests done, 20 to 25 minutes (220 degrees). Ladle into hot sterilized jars to within ⅛ inch of jar top.

Wipe rims, remove air bubbles with a sterilized knife and place lids on top. Process boiling water bath for 15 min.

NOTES : (Makes approximately 7 to 9 half-pint jars) This can easily become your trademark jam and is a good choice for novice jam-makers.
