Strawberry Sauce With Canning Instructions Recipes

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash and hull the strawberries.
• Mash the strawberries a layer at a time in something like a pie plate using something like a potato masher.
• You should end up with around 1 litre (4 cups / 32 oz) of mashed strawberries. A tidge under or over is fine.
• Put in a large stainless steel pot.
• Ladle out about 4 tablespoons of juice and put in a small bowl.
• Whisk in the pectin powder all at once and then either the sugar or liquid stevia or honey, set aside.
• Add the calcium water to the pot.
• Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
• Add the juice and pectin mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly.
• Let boil vigorously for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat.
• Ladle into 125 ml (4 oz) or quarter-litre (1/2 US pint / 8 oz) jars.
• Leave 1 cm ( 1/4 inch) headspace.
• Debubble, adjust headspace.
• Wipe jar rims.
• Put lids on.
• Process in a water bath or steam canner.
• Process jars for 10 minutes; increase time as needed for your altitude.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE {WITH CANNING INSTRUCTIONS}

Steps:

• Add prepared strawberries and sugar to a large bowl. Toss to coat well. Chill for at least one hour.
• Prepare a water bath for canning, fill with enough water to cover jars by 1-inch of water. Remove rings, set aside. Place lids in a small saucepan. Place empty jars in water, cover and bring to a boil. Boil jars for 10 minutes, carefully removing with tongs and emptying water back into canning pot. Rest hot jars open end up, on a clean kitchen towel. Pour 1 jar worth of hot liquid into saucepan containing the lids.
• Add strawberry mixture to a 5-quart or larger pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently. Remove strawberries to a clean bowl, leaving strawberry liquid behind. Continue cooking liquid until it thickens and has reduced some, roughly 15 minutes.
• Return strawberries to pan, cooking and stirring for 15-20 minutes. Skim off any foam.
• Divide mixture between sterilized jars. Wipe clean, place top and ring on. Carefully add to water bath, boiling for 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove jars to a clean towel. Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12 hours. Listen for the list to pop. If they pop, your jars are sealed. If they do not seal, store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• First, rince, pat dry and after that hull and slice the berries. Place them in a medium saucepan.
• Next, add the sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Stir well to combine.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20-30 minutes, or until thickened. Make sure to stir occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken up slightly as it cools and even more once refrigerated.

FRESH STRAWBERRY JAM FOR CANNING

Steps:

• Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or line it with a clean towel. (This is to prevent the jars from directly touching the surface.) Set aside.
• Sterilize eight 1/2-pint canning jars and lids. To sterilize jars using a boiling water canner or a large pot, place a rack (or often I will use a clean kitchen towel) on the bottom of the canner. Place the jars right-side-up on the rack and fill the jars and canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil, then boil for 10 minutes (at altitudes less than 1,000 feet elevation; see Cook's Note). Using canning tongs, remove the jars from the canner one at a time, carefully pouring the water from the jars back into the canner. Let the jars air-dry upside-down on the prepared rack or towel and sit undisturbed until you're ready to fill them. The rings and rubber-lined lids must be sterilized, too. Place the new lids in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Very gently simmer for 10 minutes (taking care not to boil). Turn off the heat and keep the lids in the water until ready to use.
• Combine the strawberries, lemon juice and sugar in a heavy 6- to 8-quart non-reactive pot and stir well. Place over high heat and, stirring constantly, bring to a full boil with bubbles over the entire surface. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the liquid pectin.
• For each jar, insert a canning funnel and carefully ladle in the jam, allowing at least 1/4 inch of headroom. Clean the rims of the jars with a clean, damp towel and tightly secure the lids.
• Place the canning rack in the canner and fill the pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat.
• Using tongs, place the jars on the rack in the canner. The water should cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Cover the canner. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for 5 minutes (at altitudes less than 1,000 feet elevation; see Cook's Note). Using tongs, transfer the jars to a towel to cool. If the seal works and fits properly, the metal lid will be slightly concave within 24 hours of processing. Store the unopened jars of jam at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once the jam is opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
