Thank you! I’ve been looking for a better way to make strawberry jelly because the idea of using a jelly strainer for more than 8 hours (and with 3 very active cats) never sat right with me. When I can get some good, fresh strawberries, that is my next project…along with peach jelly! And syrup. I’m 57 and just finally mastered (figured out?) sourdough! Again, thank you very much!

You’re welcome! I know you’ll enjoy this method when you get some great fruit. If I had to strain anything for 8 hours I’d never get it made.

That looks really nice!

That’s beautiful. Makes you look forward to breakfast. If I wanted to make it sugar free I guess I would just add the Splenda at the time u added the sugar right? Thanks for your hard work.

You probably could Make strawberry preserves but it probably would take sugar to Make jelly. Sure jell package usually calls for sugar. I add 1 tbsp of lemon juice for 1 or 2 cups berries, any, twice amount of berries and half amount of sugar. 1 cup sugar to 2 cups berries, any kind. I hot pack, cook berries, juice, sugar with lid 30 mins or more on med low, then put in jars, seal with lid. Never had any go bad, keep several years. I do not can preserves, etc., fruit. I do can veggies.

Hi can we add peppers to this jelly and what do I need to do different to make it set? I love how easy your strawberry jelly was to make. I have a lot of juice left.

Yes that would be so good!!!! I would just add them to your juice as you’re stirring. I’m not 100% on how the peppers would be disturbed since I’ve not done that before but I think since the jelly is thicker they shouldn’t float to the top as they do during pickling.

I see your glass top stove..is your canner smooth on the bottom? Mine has ridges around the bottom.. Someone told me not to use mine on my glass top. Do you know if it's okay? I got my nana's water canning pot and I'm so sad I can't use it :( I'm wondering if I should just do it on the side burner on my grill. Thanks for the recipe!

gokotta, I have glass top stove too and I use the same size canner as in this video without any problems to the glass top or anything else and I process bigger jars, which means more water and a LOT of more weight. If you worry about using your nana's canner, you can always use a stock pot, or any stainless steel cooking pot with high walls (one that will fill the size of your stove burner and would hold enough water over the submerged jars), and on the very bottom of the pot you can use the rings from canning jars, or a round metal cake rack, to keep jars from sitting on the very bottom of the pot, and process jars of whatever you like. You'll just be canning little at a time 🙂 As the old saying goes...." where's a will...there's a way" Happy canning :-)

How much sugar did you add. I like the idea of this recipe because you don't get the pulp. I can't wait to try this!

It’s important to see the jelly completed, cooled down and tested. Many times it either didn’t gel up enough or it’s too stiff. Some other KZreadr shows hers when it’s ready to eat, and they are always on the runny side.
