My first batch of this recipe

Submitted by tattoogrl13 on Mon, 2010-05-31 19:22.

My first batch of this recipe came out thick and the next morning when I tried it on my toast (with goat cheese, mmmmm) it was a bit hard to spread. Tasted very good though. I think I cooked it too low which made it take a long time to reach 220 degrees. I just made my second batch with sightly higher heat and it stalled at 210 degrees. I turned up the heat and that just made it almost boil over. So I kept it at 210 for about 10 minutes and then funneled it into jars. It yielded 20 ounces more than the first batch, contributing to my theory that I messed up. I'll try the second batch in the morning to see how it tastes. Thanks for such an easy recipe that even a newbie like me can give it a shot.

And now, a day later, I can

And now, a day later, I can say that another 10 degrees may have made a difference; the second batch never set up. So, although it tastes amazing, its very thin. Still, I'll eat it with a smile because I made it myself. Its a pretty rewarding feeling

I just gave up buying

I just gave up buying Strawberry Preserves or jam because of the high price. Now that I know how to make it for myself, I'm a happy camper! Is there a way to use something other than white sugar such as one of the new no calorie sugar substitues. Thanks Annie for your video.

If you want to try a sugar

If you want to try a sugar substitute, just taste as you add it to the mix because it will be much sweeter than natural sugar. Additionally, you'll need to add pectin, as the sugar is a thickener--the amount you need should be listed on the pectin package. We hope this helps!
