Blue Ribbon Strawberry Orange Jam
We love to enter the fair every year and we’ve won blue ribbons in the past. We had never tried this combination of strawberries and oranges and the flavor comes from fresh squeezed orange juice. It’s good stuff. The strawberries are from a local berry patch near Minneapolis.
Directions
Pour boiling water over jar lids in small kettle. Sterilize jars.
Discard stems, quarter and crush strawberries. Measure 2 cups crushed strawberries.
Finely chop sectioned peeled oranges. (Do not include any orange membranes or white pith.) Measure 1 ½ cups orange pulp.
Combine strawberries, orange pulp, lemon juice, pectin, butter and "Mrs. Wages Fresh Fruit Preserver" in saucepot. Bring to a boil. Add sugar and return to a full rolling boil for one minute.
Remove from heat. Skim off any foam. Let rest for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ladle into jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process jars for 10 minutes in hot water bath (USDA Guidelines).
