2 Videos | Photo: Easy Strawberry Jam Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pints fresh strawberries
- 3 cups superfine sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and small-diced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
Place the strawberries in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Drain and hull the strawberries. Cut the larger berries in half or quarters and leave the small berries whole. Place the strawberries in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot such as heavy Dutch oven and toss them with the sugar and orange-flavored liqueur.
Bring the berry mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Add the apple and blueberries and continue to keep the mixture at a rolling boil, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. This should take 25 to 35 minutes. Skim and discard any foam that rises to the top. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then store covered in the refrigerator. It will keep refrigerated for at least 2 weeks. To keep the jam longer, pack and seal in canning jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.

I had some leftover strawberries, looked for a recipe to use them up and found this one. I am not a fan of strawberry jam but since Ina has never disappointed me I decided to make the jam anyway. My family went CRAZY FOR IT!! They gobbled it up in no time and begged me to make another batch. Put your faith in Ina and you will never regret it!

Scrumptious! Turned out letter perfect. For those of you who didn't use the Grand Marnier because you didn't want to buy a whole bottle for just this recipe (and I understand completely!this is what I do in these cases. I go to a decent liquor store and buy one of those mini bottles that look like the kind you get on an airplane. It's always the perfect amount, generally costs less than $4, and is so worth it to have the real thing! I hope this suggestion helps. I love Ina's recipes. Generally simple, easy to follow, and turn out great. Happy Cooking!
