Do you grow your own strawberries? I’ve been meaning to plant them but work takes so much of my time, so I just buy them. If ever I have the time already, how can I make sure that the berries I grow will be sweet not bland? Any tips?

In reply to Maurice. Yup, pectin is essential.

I tried doing this recently and it turned out a disaster. I found out later that I should have added pectin which is available in powdered from from some natural food stores. Some fruit such as citrus and apricots have a lot of natural pectin which is released during the cooking process. Strawberries unfortunately do not. It’s the pectin that enables the jam to thicken like it should.

What I did make was more like a heavy syrup and was great as a sauce. It only keeps for a couple of weeks in the fridge however.

That idea for using the froth in strawberry popsicles is very good, I will definitely try that the next time I make strawberry jam. I didn’t use a canner though, so I’m going to see if my jars magically sealed themselves when I get home today.
