STRAWBERRY JAM
A couple of weeks ago I shared with you this Strawberry Jam that I made using Ball’s Fresh Tech Jam Maker. Today I want to share with you the recipe that I used and give you some free Jam Labels for your own use.
I usually just use the recipe in my Pectin Box, but used Ball’s Strawberry Jam Recipe and we are really enjoying it.

It is Ball’s Jam Maker!
I am in awe….. I can not wait to get me a Ball Jam Maker!! May I ask what the shelf life is, do the jars seal and keep like regular canning?
They do seal like regular canning jars. They get a great hot seal and I haven’t had any trouble with them sealing. They have the usual shelf life of 3-5 years.
Besides strawberry and raspberry, my two most popular jams are cherry almond and jalapeño. Thank you for the cute labels.
Yum! Those both sound delicious!!
