Blue Ribbon Strawberry Orange Jam

Yields6 half-pints

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.

 6 medium Valencia oranges
 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
 6 Tbsp powdered pectin
 1/2 tsp unsalted butter to reduce foaming
