Steps:
- Prepare the strawberries by wiping them with a piece of damp kitchen paper. (Wiping the strawberries rather than washing them ensures the fruit doesn't absorb lots of water - too much water and the jam won't set easily.) To hull the fruit, use a knife to cut a cone shape into the strawberry and remove the stem. Cut any large berries in half.
- Put the strawberries in a bowl and gently toss through the sugar. Leave uncovered at room temperature for 12 hrs or overnight. This process helps the sugar to dissolve, ensures the fruit doesn't disintegrate too much and helps to keep its vibrant colour.
- Before starting the jam, put 2 saucers in the freezer. Tip the strawberry mixture into a preserving pan with the lemon juice. Set over a low heat and cook very gently. If any sugar remains on the sides of the pan, dip a pastry brush in hot water and brush the sugar away.
- When you can no longer feel any grains of sugar remaining, turn up the heat to start bubbling the jam and bringing it to the boil. (The sugar must be completely dissolved before increasing the heat, otherwise it will be difficult for the jam to set, and it may contain crystallised lumps of sugar.)
- Boil hard for 5-10 mins until the jam has reached 105C on a preserving or digital thermometer, then turn off the heat. If you don't have a thermometer, spoon a little jam onto one of the cold saucers. Leave for 30 secs, then push with your finger; if the jam wrinkles and doesn't flood to fill the gap, it is ready. If not, turn the heat back on and boil for 2 mins more, then turn off the heat and do the wrinkle test again. Repeat until ready.
- Use a spoon to skim any scum that has risen to the surface and discard this. Do this only once at the end, rather than constantly during the boiling stage, to reduce wastage.
- Add a knob of butter, if you like, to the finished jam, and stir in to melt. This will help to dissolve any remaining scum that you haven't managed to spoon off the top. Leave the jam to settle for 15 mins - this will ensure that the fruit stays suspended in the mixture and doesn't all float to the top of the jam jar. Meanwhile, sterilise your jars.
- Ladle into warm jars, filling to just below the rim. Place a wax disc on top of the jam (this prevents mildew forming), then cover with a lid or a cellophane circle and elastic band. Pop on a label (include the date), plus a pretty fabric top, if you like. The jam can be stored for up to 1 year in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening.

STRAWBERRY-TARRAGON SHRUB
Add a dash of this sweet-tart shrub syrup to everything from seltzer to vinaigrettes, and you'll see why these old-fashioned recipes are having a renaissance. Here, fresh strawberries are combined with sugar and white-wine vinegar, which enhances the full-bodied berry flavor and makes it a great sipper to serve at your next spring or summer soirée.

Steps:
- In a medium nonreactive saucepan (such as stainless steel), combine strawberries with sugar and 1/2 cup water. Let stand, stirring a few times, 1 hour.
- Cook over medium heat until warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add tarragon. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, 24 hours. Remove tarragon; strain mixture, discarding solids, and transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 month.
- Fill glasses halfway with ice. Add 3 tablespoons shrub base and 6 ounces seltzer to each; stir once. Garnish with tarragon and fresh berries. Serve immediately.
STRAWBERRY MARGARITA JAM
What could be better than 'eating' a strawberry margarita for breakfast?!? On toast of course! And don't worry, the alcohol burns off during the cooking process.

Steps:
- Inspect 9 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until filling is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Mix strawberries, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice together in a large stockpot. Stir in pectin and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally; continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and immediately stir in sugar all at once.
- Return mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir steadily to mix fruit evenly throughout jam and prevent floating fruit, about 5 minutes.
- Ladle jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

This is by far the easiest recipe I have found for strawberry jam without using a pectin. The jam is soft, spreadable and delicious.

Steps:
- In a wide bowl, crush strawberries in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed berry. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace, and seal. Process in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.

STRAWBERRY TARRAGON JAM

Steps:
- Put strawberries and sugar in a veavy saucepan and bring slowly to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. (If you can, get a stool that is high enough for you to sit on and see into the pot. This will really save your feet!).
- Add tarragon leaves. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often to prevent burning, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Ladle into hot sterilized jars and seal.
- NOTE: You may can these in a hot water bath for 5 minutes, if desired, but the quantity of your yield makes just enough for you to keep a jar or two in the fridge and give one as a gift.

STRAWBERRY LIMONCELLO JAM

STRAWBERRY VANILLA JAM
This recipe is an adaptation/mash-up of the strawberry jam recipe in the book titled Well Preserved by Mary Anne Dragan and the strawberry vanilla jam recipe in the book titled Put 'Em Up! by Sherri Brooks Vinton that also includes my own additions! The butter is optional and will help tame the foaming but don't use more than 1/2 teaspoon as this may raise the pH too high making your finished product unsafe to can. The lemon juice should be bottled instead of fresh because bottled has a more reliable and consistent pH where as fresh can vary. This makes wonderful gifts that are a bit more special than just regular strawberry jam! I usually get 6 half pint jars and a quarter pint jar out of this recipe.

Steps:
- Place the strawberries in a large stockpot and crush them slightly with a potato masher to break them up a little and release some of their juice. Simmer the strawberries over medium low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, seeds scraped from the vanilla beans, (you may also add the vanilla bean pods if desired after you have scraped the seeds from them - just remember to take them out before you start filling your jars!) butter and sugar and stir well until sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat and boil hard for 20 minutes, stirring frequently (be careful, this has a tendency to spit at you and boiling sugar burns are unpleasant!), until it has reduced and thickened a bit. You may test for gel at this point if deisred.
- Remove from heat and stir constantly for 3 minutes to redistribute the fruit evenly through the jam and prevent it from floating to the top of your finished product.
- Ladle jam into hot half pint (8 oz.) jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes - adjusting for altitude.
