Instructions
Wash containers and lids in warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly with boiling water. Invert on a clean tea towel to air dry.
Wash, rinse and stem the strawberries. In a large mixing bowl, crush the berries thoroughly with a potato masher, one layer at a time.
Add the sugar to the crushed berries and stir thoroughly. Let berries stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small saucepan combine the water and pectin. Over high heat, bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add to the berry mixture. Stir non-stop for 3 – 4 minutes, or until sugar granules are completely dissolved.
Ladle into prepared jars leaving 1/2” headroom. Wipe rims and threads with a damp, clean cloth and cover immediately with lids. Allow to stand at room temperature for 24 hours before using.
