  5. equipment
  6. 1large sauce pot
  7. 58oz jelly jars with lids & bands
  8. 1water bath canner
  9. 1canning funnel
  10. 1canning tongs

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sterilize jars&bands according to manufacturers instructions. I sterilize jars in the water canner so the water is ready for processing when jam is cooked.

  2. 2

    Bring a small pan of water to boil.Remove from heat add lids and set aside.

  3. 3

    Strain strawberries Reserving the juice. Crush strawberries and set aside. Add enough water to reserved juice to equal 1and 1/2 cup.

  4. 4

    Wash cranberries. In large pot add cranberries sugar and juice/water mixture.

  5. 5

    Bring mixture to a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Continue to stir so this will not burn

  6. 6

    After 15 minutes add crushed strawberries bring back up to rolling boil reduce heat and simmer for additional 10 minutes. Stirring frequently.

  7. 7

    After 10 minutes remove jam from heat. Spoon jam into jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Make sure no air is in jam, l do this by taking a wooden skewer and stiirring jam. Clean jar rims and place lids and bands on.do not over tighten hand tight is fine.

  8. 8

    Add jars to water bath canner and process for recommended time for jam according to where you live.Where I live its 10 minutes.

  9. 9

    After processing remove from canner and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours. After 24 hours enjoy or store in cool dark place up to 9 months. If you have a jar that doesn't seal store in refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
