Low Sugar Strawberry Vanilla Jam

Ingredients

  • 9 to 10 cups strawberry pulp
  • 2 1/2 cups cane sugar divided
  • 2 vanilla beans split and scraped
  • 2 small lemons juiced
  • 1 tablespoon calcium water
  • 1 tablespoon Pomona's Pectin

Instructions

  • Prepare a boiling water bath canner and enough jars to hold 4 1/2 pints.
  • In a low, wide, non-reactive pot, combine the berry pulp, 2 cups sugar, vanilla bean seeds and pods, lemon juice, and calcium water.
  • Set pot over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook at a vigorous boil for 20 to 25 minutes, until the volume has reduced by approximately half and the foaming has subsided.
  • Stir pectin into the remaining sugar and stream it into the cooking jar, using a whisk to stir to help prevent clumps.
  • Return the contents of the pot to an active boil and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Funnel the jam into the prepared jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
