Strawberry Jam

[Big Bas]

Have made 10 pounds of strawberry jam and put into jars very runny how can i make it harder and less runny

[woofgang]

reboil, add pectin or lemon juice.

…and, one must curb the urge to make double or even triple batches… just about 5-6 cups of cut up berries and 6 to 7 cups of sugar, with about a palm full (6 to 7 of our tablespoons full) of pectin will do the trick every time… Helps if you mix the pectin into some of the sugar before mixing with berries and rest of sugar...

I'm in the U.S., so here's a cup to whatever conversion link…

I agree with woofgang. Reboil and add lemon juice or pectin. Try the setting test after reboiling and adding the pectin or lemon juice by putting a teaspoon of jam on a cold saucer (put a saucer in the freezer for about ten minutes to make sure that the saucer is cold enough for the hot jam to set) If it is not ready for bottling, try boiling it a little longer until setting point is reached. It is better to have a reduction of jam that has set than plenty of liquidy stuff.

perhaps I should explain better than that. Put the empty saucer in the freezer and when quite chilled take it out and put the hot jam on it and test. You can test by pushing slowly on the jam with your finger and see if it creases.

I always add an apple, finely chopped, to all jam. You never notice it.
Try re boiling it with added apple
