The nutritional information is auto-calculated and can vary depending on the products used.
- Be sure to use ripe strawberries for the best homemade strawberry jam flavor.
- For the pectin, certo or sure-jell work great. I use the powdered variety of fruit pectin for this recipe.
- Use other types of berries including blueberries, raspberries or blackberries, or use a combination.
- A food processor can be used to crush the strawberries; pulse until you get your desired consistency.
