How to fix a not set strawberry jam
I’m going to the store right now to buy some strawberries and this is November 18, 2022 I love your videos keep up the good work❤️👍🏼🎉
This is amazing jam! Thank you for all the work you put into the tests. Absolutely perfect!
First time making Jam, easy to follow. It was a hit.
This jam is delicious. I've made it twice and both times I just let it cool a bit then put a white plastic ball jar lid on it and refrigerated it. It makes four 8 ounce jars. I give 2 away and keep 2. It stays fresh for 8-10 weeks in the fridge.
What apples do you use?
I like the video but when I went to check out the recipe on the website, which I figured should be in the YouTube description section, I was blocked from seeing the actual recipe because I had to be a member 1st. There was no "x" in the corner to opt out of the email membership. <grumble> That was annoying because I do not want to receive emails. I merely wanted the recipe.
Perfect amount of sugar for the strawberries. I followed the same recipe for blackberry jam and blueberry jam. The consistency is perfect but too sweet for me, so you may want to back off the sugar for other fruits.
How much is the three cups of sugar in grams?
I no longer eat sugar cancer loves sugar

Fantastic tip on natural pectin with the apple. Can you do the same thing with raspberry or grape jam?
Just made this today. Easy and delicious.
Absolutely delicious! I love America’s Test Kitchen – it’s food science. I made the strawberry jam yesterday and while it was cooking I waited for the foam to build up. It didn’t – at least not much. I will tell you that I used raw sugar, not white sugar. Could that be the reason for little to no foam at all?
Hi There. I followed your recipe. The only problem I had, it would not reach 217 degrees on medium high. I splattered al over the place, there was no foam, so i canned it anyway. Any suggestions? Also I was so aggravated from being splattered, i canned the strawberry jam butt for got to check for air with stick. Is that OK? And my elevation is 3970 foot above sea level.
Can I use the same recipe for peaches?
What is the shelf life of the Jam?
How large should the Granny Smith apple be? Apples can vary in size and that will undoubtedly affect the recipe. Thank you!
How many half pints does this make?
I’m making it now ty ty I love all natural foods
Yes, don’t use fresh lemon, but the ones with artificial flavors and special ingredients….plop
Do I put this in the fridge or freezer after or does it stay on the shelf?
I made this jam and WOW! This was my first time every making jam and this recipe was so easy and helpful. I added 1 Tablespoon butter to the pot and had zero foam. I highly recommend it!!! Thank you.
After i sanitized my jars with clorinated soapy water would it be safe if i dont boill the Jared jam anymore since it wont last that long ?
I WILL STILL REFRIGERATE IT THOUGH
Fantastic recipe, perfect explanation and amazing result. 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
