• 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package dry pectin
• 7 cups sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Wash strawberries; drain.

3. Crush strawberries on layer at a time. (I use a potato masher for this.).
4. Combine strawberries, powdered pectin, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large saucepot.
5. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
6. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil.
7. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
8. Remove from heat, and skim foam if necessary.
9. Ladle into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space.
10. Adjust 2-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.

(Betty Gilbert does not process in canner, only adds jam/jelly to jar and seals)
