The strawberries are finally on here in Ontario (we have already consumed two blenders of daquaris!) I have a flat of strawberries to make into jam. I am looking for interesting recipes for cooked jams - I am already making strawberry rhubarb and strawberry banana. I'd like small batch recipes using herbs or liquers if anyone has any out there.

 
I make it with sure jell.Puree the berries and follow the directions.

If you want to add herbs and liqueurs then do so.

 
Let me know if you want any of these.

No-Cook Strawberry Daiquiri Spread
Strawberry and fig jam- which is really wonderful
Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
Strawberry Citrus Spread
Strawberry Pineapple
Strawberry Spiced Jam

 
I make the Strawberry-Kiwi one out of the Ball Blue Book. It is really pretty in the jar

because of the black seeds from the kiwi--not to mention that it is quite tasty too!

I will be glad to post it tonight when I get home if you are interested.

 
Back when I had a freezer, my favorite was the frozen jam using

the recipe in the Sure Jell box. It was like having fresh strawberries on my waffle in the middle of winter. Also made and loved the frozen blackberry jam.

 
Cyn . . . I'd like the following recipes . . .

Strawberry and fig jam
Strawberry Citrus Spread
Strawberry Pineapple
Strawberry Spiced Jam

Thanks!
