Homemade Strawberry Jam

The middle of summer is the perfect season for fresh strawberries. Red, sweet, and juicy strawberries are a great healthy snack and can be used in many different recipes– like this strawberry jam. Your NESCO Smart Canner can be used to water bath your jars to make them safe for long-term storage, and it’s so much easier than you think!

Simply cook the strawberries with the “Brown” function of your Canner, then add a few more ingredients, put it all in jars and process. It’s that easy to impress your family and friends with your homemade jam.
