Strawberry Jam

7 1/2 pints of summer sunshine, right here.

Perfectly set strawberry jam without commercial pectin. It's kind of a golden fleece around here. Don't get me wrong, I am anything but a pectin snob, for real, but I'm never fond of the texture that seems peculiar to the pectin/strawberry jam combo in my experience. I'm excited to finally hit on the right set up.

The color of this jam is amazing! I'm with you on commercial pectin: nothing wrong with it except that jams and jellies made without it have a nicer consistency.

I just used the basic Ball Blue Book recipe for no pectin jam (same one I've always used), but I did two things differently. The first was making sure that a couple handfuls of the berries I used weren't completely ripe because the green/white berry tips have far more pectin in them. The second change was that I started the night before & let the boiled berry/sugar/lemon mixture sit, covered overnight. Then i just got up and boiled it again to the gelling point the next day.
