5 1/2 c. crushed strawberries (about 3 qt. boxes strawberries)
1 pkg. powdered pectin
8 c. sugar

TO PREPARE FRUIT: Sort and wash fully ripe strawberries; remove stems and caps. Crush berries.

TO MAKE JAM: Measure crushed strawberries into a kettle. Add pectin and stir well. Place on high heat and, stirring constantly, bring quickly to a full boil with bubbles over the entire surface. Add sugar, continue stirring, and heat again to a full bubbling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim.

Pour immediately into hot, sterile canning jars to 1/4 inch from top. Seal and process 5 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes 9 or 10 (1/2 pint) jars.
