Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust; discard any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until strawberry jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

Step 2

Wash, hull, and crush strawberries in a large bowl. Measure berries; you should have about 5 cups.

Step 3

Pack hot jam into the prepared jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.

Step 4

Scrub oranges well under hot running water; pat dry with paper towels. Zest oranges; place zest in a medium bowl and set aside. Peel oranges; remove all white pith. Divide oranges into segments; remove any white fibrous membranes and seeds. Finely chop oranges; stir into zest.

Step 5

Combine crushed strawberries and orange-zest mixture in a large pot over medium heat; stir in pectin and slowly bring to a full rolling boil. Add sugar; stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat; boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim any foam with a ladle or large spoon.

Step 6

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water; bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch; bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove jars from the stockpot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Rest for 24 hours without moving jars. Gently press center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
