We used to add milk to the empty jar of jam, shake it and it's flavored milk.

Good idea, never thought of that! My kids do that with syrup bottles. They always like it when at least a teaspoon full or so stays in the bottle 😀

Loved doing this as a kid! Now, I add oil and vinegar and turn it into salad dressing. Soooo good! ❤

Yes!!

Love your videos! One thing, would you consider rating your taste tests a bit differently? America’s Test Kitchen puts a sample tasting of each in a small bowl/plate and the taster can go back and forth to compare.

Great idea

So 27 year's ago started me on my journey of Jam making, my husband wanted strawberry jam (smuckers) I told him no ick ( my opinion only) we went to garage sell, bought my canner, jars rings bought of course new lids, and a few weeks later fresh strawberries 🍓 and the days of store bought jam are history hubby will go and buy 2 flats of berries to get me started.. 😊❤ thanks to my mom, grandmother, and great grandmother, Im the fourth generation still canning, my Daughter might carry it on I hope she still help me😊

I have never seen an 8 oz clamshell of strawberries. My stores have 1 lb and 2 lb clamshells. The 1 lb is on sale this week for 2.50, last week on sale for 1.99. I don't think we will see 99 cent strawberries again.

I heard adding vinegar to leftover jam makes a great salad dressing. Never tried yet.

I made a triple berry jam with your recipe last week with berries off the reduced rack and added it to your yogurt recipe....delish!!

Raspberry is my favorite as it reminds me of my grandma's raspberry bushes

You guys need to try freezer strawberry jam. The directions are in the package of SureJell. You don’t cook it so it tastes like fresh strawberries. Once I started making it we never went back to the cooked jam. My family won’t eat anything else. I make several batches every year.

Homemade the best

Have you ever used a straw to remove the stem ? It works great

Grape is my favorite jelly 💜

I like that u take ure time and not rush through it....don't care how long it takes...I like honest opinions I like that u take ure time

Thank you ❤

Save the. Washed strawberry tops and make vinegar

I use to add left over jam and jelly to the top of sweet muffins before baking by the generous teaspoon volume or make a dimple in drop biscuits and plop some in. Its the same basic concept as thumbprint cookies. Mint and apple mint jelly zlwaus languished in the fridge. This works for canned cranberry relish and jelly too. I never worried kf all in a batch were the same or even if all in a batch had any at all.

These are so fun to watch. I dont even eat jam, but i just enjoy your videos so much! ❤❤😊😊

Enjoying these comparison videos.

I really enjoy watching your videos. I don't eat much jelly or jam, but when I do, I buy Polaner's seedless strawberry. It is sweetened with fruit juice concentrate and no sugar with 8 grams of sugars. Strawberries where I live in MA cost about $3.99/lb in the grocery store, and triple that at farmer's markets in season.

We have an Amish farmers market store where I live, and I always buy their jelly/ jams. They were out of strawberry jelly yesterday when I was doing my grocery shopping. I was so bummed. I ended up at Publix down the street, and getting the Smuckers strawberry jelly because it was the cheapest.

You guys are so funny and this video makes me want toast with jam right now lol 😊

Grape mayhaw muscadine jelly

I make jellies and jams too. They always taste different because, in my opinion, we are so used to all the added sugar to the store brand.

If I eat jam at all and it's store bought, I do love the Bonne Maman jams. They taste closest to homemade to me. I'll have to try making the Dining On A Dime recipe!

I absolutely love your apron

Strawberry jam...yum! I really enjoy these videos! You too are a super team!

Oh, you poor sweet person! The microwave sure didn't like the strawberries!😂 But you are so honest to keep it real..from a greatgrandma..

We grew up by putting a piece of bread in the bottom of the jar and eating the last of it thar spooning out of the jar. As for taste testing the different jars of strawberries; need to take in consideration how ripe are the strawberries, how much sugar did they use and how much pectin. Oh and did they add something else to it.

Could you do frozen meatballs.....ty

You guys are too cute. Have you tried Kirkland organic spread, we use it for many desserts as well as sandwich spread. We use Polaner jams mostly, delicious and no added sugar just fruit. Blessings

I would rate homemade strawberry jam over any store bought jam any day. My mom and other relatives made the best!! I was able to buy strawberries this week for $1.00 a container..not as good as Michigan ones in June though.😊

I noticed the color right first thing just looking at the jars

Allergies strawberries and mushrooms no microwave

mix last bit of jam with yogurt or oatmeal

Can you use frozen strawberries for this?

Got the one with checked lid on clearance and liked it. But its over 6 bucks regular ouch.

You win some and you lose some😂. Strawberry freezer jam is awesome using only 1/2 the sugar in the recipe.

Why would you use fresh strawberries to make jam? Why not frozen?

Tawra, sorry for the unrelated question....Do you have a good recipe for gluten free gnocchi? If so, please direct me to it. I would love to make it! Have a great night! -much love ~Mary & fam in NJ ps -I'm rooting for some good precipitation for y'all

@@LivingOnADime Oh --they are delicious potato based little dumplings, but most incorporate reg flours. Never know, you may LOVE them. If you ever mess with them, I'll be sure to have a front row seat!

I love Strawberry jam. Espescially homemade. My only problem is, besides the price is, I have to watch my sugar intake. So it's low/no added/sugar free for me. The Great Value brand is my least favorite. My dog won't go anywhere near it. Smucker"s is one of the best store bought one I've found.

Smoothie

Less sugar and you can taste the strawberries.

So many of those jams and jellies taste like nothing but sugar. No real fruit flavor. Looks to me like the super red ones have had red food coloring, added, the companies thinking that it makes them look more appealing or strawberry-ish.🍓❤

Every time I see Tawra opening something with a knife, I don't wanna look. I think even she'll admit at times she's a bit of a clutz (yes I still love a Tawra) I just see you slicing your thumb , scares me
