i started making jams as a way to distract myself from some depression i was having in life. and by the end when ive tasted how amazing what i made was and everything was canned, i was looking forward to giving what i made away to those i cared about and give them something homemade :) giving to others always cheers me up !
Lemon juice is the best pectin ever, also the stones of fruits like peaches and plums. Just ties the pits in a little muslin bag and cook with the fruits if you’re trying to avoid commercial pectin. Thanks for this I have 2lbs of frozen mangoes in the freezer and you’ve given me ideas x
Every fruit has it's own pectin. Macerating the fruit is a great way to bring it out. I do that the night before, refrigerate it, then blend and cook until thickened. Don't forget the lemon juice 😉☺️😋... The vanilla bean adds an amazing flavor to it too.
@@prettybrowneyez3338i pick a bit of under ripe fruits as they tend to have more pectin (according to my grandma she would use our small gravenstien apples and make pectin I do remember the apples were not quite ripe yet)
i had no intention of even finishing this video until i actually planned on making some apple butter but the mans voice hooked me, i could listen to happy people talking about simple things that make them happier for hours on end lol
Not sure why this came up -but I just finished making plum butter! I had a bumper crop this year so gave a bunch to my sister! And yes, I made it the exact same way for some; to some I added cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger ! A hint: if your fruit is very juicy - break out the slow cooker and cook the prepared fruit with the lid tilted a bit to let steam escape to reduce it. So much fun, easy to do - and a great video also!
When I make fruit jelly or butters, I always let them macerate in the fridge the night before. That way they let all their juices out and the sugar is dissolved. I blend the fruit and then let them simmer until it thickens. I love your channel because it thoroughly explains the process of canning. Thank you, your beautiful mother and grandmother for these tips on home canning 🙏🏼❤️ I don't like the store ones because of the sugar content and these homemade ones are all about controlling how much sugar you use. Which I'm going to choose to taste the fruit over too much sugar 😋😋🤤
Not to mention that the store-bought ones just don't taste quite right. It's like they're using the lowest quality of fruit possible and try to use sugar to compensate for that.
One of the best things I ever tasted was from our apricot tree in the middle of Los Angeles City decades ago. My mom threw a giant bowlful of the apricots from our tree that year into a big ole’ pan and cooked it down with a (little) bit of sugar and asqueeze of fresh lemon. It was so simple and delicious we put it on toast, etc., or just ate it as a little dessert. It worked for so much! THANK you for this strawberry recipe!!
This is amazing. I saw this video and made some last year, the minute strawberries were ripening up from the garden this year my family asked me for it. It's on the stove right now! I've also done it with blackberries and peaches.
I made this today. I must say - I had 3 lbs of strawberries, cleaned, cut and cooked. Ended up with 4 8oz jars of strawberry butter. BUT, boy is it ever good!
I had leftover strawberries after our great grandsons went home. I saw this video this morning and making it now. It will be delicious! I may put mine over some vanilla frozen yogurt. Mmmm good!
I’ve made apple butter,peach butter, pumpkin butter before but never have I thought of using strawberries- this is a must make for me thanks for sharing your recipe
Your joy is infectious. I love your channel!! I did my first water bath last night. I made a cornicopia of blackberry jam and my mom made beautiful jam bars with them. For my birthday my mom made a cake with a beautiful blackberry jam icing using cream cheese and butter; a gorgeous purple icing.
I've made three batches in the last few days since first seeing this. It's absolutely delicious! It's very versatile, and will make great gifts. Thanks for the great idea!!
Your kitchen design is gorgeous! And the strawberry fruit butter couldn't have been prepared in a more welcoming environment. Watching this video was so inspirational in so many ways. It was truly delightful! I just started to grow strawberries again so I don't have nearly enough to make even a few jars of this butter, but my local farmers' mkt should. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
I was thrilled when you added the lemon juice to your strawberry butter. I always add a little lemon juice and the zest too to all my jellies and preserves. Except for peaches. That I add orange juice and zest. You're the first home canner that I've seen do this.😊 I've never heard of Strawberry Butter before but I'm sure going to make some this canning season. That would be fantastic to spread on the cake layers of a strawberry cake. Thx.😊
@@LisaMT1218 the acidity in oranges is enough to prevent the browning reaction and lemon juice doesn't meld as well with the delicate flavor of peach, as well as orange juice.
@@LisaMT1218 lemons are more sour than oranges. I tried with lemons but it overpowered the peach flavor to me so I started using oranges. You can use lemon if you like though. Your preference.
Soooo good. I went crazy one summer after buying a “luge” of plums. Made plum butter. Added ground walnuts to some of the mix after cooking them down. Plum Nutty! Super Delicious. ❤
That sounds like it would go beautifully in kolaches! When I visited Czechia, they made them with either walnuts with sugar, plum jam, apricot jam, poppy seed paste, or sweet cream cheese, topped with farmer cheese. (All of them delicious!)
I just got some strawberries from our local farm and will have to try this. My family loves apple butter so I am sure this will be a hit too. Thank you for the great video!
This one really hits home, my parents made the best strawberry jam I’ve ever tasted. I honestly like the idea of a fruit butter, I’ve had apple butter so the same flavor but with strawberry’s. Thank you for the nice tutorial, very descriptive and definitely something I’m going to try with my wife.
First time here and I have to say, Thank you for being so thorough in your explanation of your canning process you described every little detail and why and I've not found that in other people who have done little canning videos like this I have been so afraid to can cuz I'm afraid I'm going to screw something up because I didn't know the why and the fine details and then I'm going to open it up six months later and kill everybody seriously that's how deep it is in my head LOL. I will say this will be the first time I will make an actual attempt to can something just because of how thorough you were on your details. Thank you again
You call it jam, I call that compote. You’re the neatest cook ever! I just made strawberry bread, my rhubarb strawberry compote was awesome. I wonder if you could this with tomatoes?
I suspect if done with tomatoes, it ends up tomato sauce. I suppose it depends on the other ingredients, as a tomato sauce would more likely just have a touch of salt in the plainest version.
You convinced me not to use pectin in my jam. Today I made a blackberry jam/butter that I put through a hand food processor to remove the seeds. I added lemon zest and bourbon vanilla paste to the berry mix. The flavor is amazing!! Thanks all the great recipes.
I made this today! It was simple to make and I love the idea of canning it!! Such a beautiful colour and a deep strawberry flavour. Essence of strawberry indeed. Thank you for this delicious recipe. Linda, Quebec city, Canada
Sugar and lemon are important to fight spoilage. Hells preserve the product. Apple butter…any fruit butter, is all about the reduction. Reduce it down to a paste almost.
I love that only added sugar here is to macerate the fruit. I have been trying to cut sugar from my diet and found that sugar alternatives like the one from king arthur have texture fine enough to macerate fruit. I live in the midwest and people still make and give gifts to teachers but its usually starbucks cards or something. This is waaaay nicer.
Getting that "pop" right when you were talking about it was beyond perfect!!! Omg it literally gave me nostalgia goosebumps!! TOTALLY SATISFYINGLY AWESOME!!❤❤🍓🍓🍋❤❤🍓🍓🍋🍋❤❤
My Oma and Mom tried to get me interested in canning, but of course, I wasn't. They used wax to seal the jars sometimes. My Oma used to put preserves in between the top and bottom of a cake. Also good on vanilla ice cream. Yum!
My mother and grandmother used wax until they found out that both myself and my little brother were allergic to penicillin and several molds. Since wax seal jams can sometimes have mold they switched to ball canning lids and doing a quick water bath I missed popping the wax off and chewing it.
Ohhhh that “pop” … soooo satisfying. Lol. Been looking for a simple one with less sugar. Can’t wait to make it. How does the vanilla flavor taste in it? And can you omit it?
I've always made my mother's strawberry jam recipe, which only has strawberries and sugar in it. It's a family favorite. I just might have to try this recipe for something different! THANKS!
I try to use only lemon juice-perhaps add a shredded apple for strawberries-to thicken my small batch preserves. Only when I am using allulose plus sugar do I add a little xanthan gum to thicken. This will add another option for me to try … maybe when I do peaches next month. Thank you!
omg it's not preserves that i like most, it was this!! thank you i've been trying to find this for years. (try drizzling some into green tea next time you have the chance. it tastes like fresh blueberries.)
Minus the vanilla, skimming, and puree, this is my family's strawberry jam/persevere recipe that is well over a hundred years old and has been used for 4 to 5 generations. To go older, or during wartime rationing, lose the sugar and increase the boil time.
Omg this looks divine. I had apple butter for the first time last year and thought it was fantastic. I am DEFINITELY going to have to make this... and perhaps get into canning as well😂
Never heard of jam butter, but if anything strawberries (that is real strawberries), I am up for it! 😋 Would you say the consistency is thicker or about the same as tomato sauce?
I loveyour recipes kaleb thank you i have made your peach butter Omg its so good and today im going to make your strawberry butter and jarred peaches thank you thank you for making things do simple I hope you print your recipes i will be the first yo buy it; thank you again mary from montreal Canada
That looks so good. My husband is sugar free and loves pb&j. Could it be made with date paste or date sugar or would that change the consistency too much.

❤ niice 😊
How sweet ❤
This would be good on icecream got to try it
This is the most approachable canning guide.
My mom made apple butter, peach butter and pumpkin butter. I never knew that butters could be made from other fruits. I will be giving this a try.
I love apple butter!
Peach butter sounds delicious
I second how delicious peach butter sounds!!! I need to try that!!!
oh yum..thanks for this idea ! the wheels are turning...note to self: order more jars, lids, labels......@@sharonbrame9613
I'm mixing strawberries and blueberries and making this....delicious...❤😊😊😊
I would highly recommend replacing the lemon juice with a good quality balsamic vingar. Really adds another level to strawberry jams.
That sounds tooooo sweet.
That sounds amazing 😮

Oh! I didn't know about the pits for pectin! Thank you! I have a corn allergy and it's in most commercial pectins so this is very helpful.
Apple peels are loaded with pectin 😊
How many stones do you use?
Every fruit has it's own pectin. Macerating the fruit is a great way to bring it out. I do that the night before, refrigerate it, then blend and cook until thickened. Don't forget the lemon juice 😉☺️😋... The vanilla bean adds an amazing flavor to it too.

Thank you for this. Im teying this got my first canning attempt. Nect is pickled cucumber and onions, and maybe carrots. 😄
Family favourite rhubarb butter. Just harvested raspberries so will try a berry butter. Thanks for the idea.
Simply wonderful.
My mouth just waters watching this Kaleb...😂😂
Glad I came across your video. I have a box peaches and wanted to make more than just canned peaches.
I've never thought of making strawberry butter (I HAVE made apple butter) and cannot wait to try this. Thank you SO much for sharing this tutorial.🎉

Did you use same size jars? How long did you leave in the water bath?
I can't wait to make it one day. It sounds delicious. Everything you make is great😂❤❤
I make this every other day for my Greek yogurt but never thought to batch it. Thank you!
Inspired heck yeah... I can see a strawberry vinaigrette served over a spinach strawberry salad with roasted nuts of your choice.😋

Great recipe! I will definitely be trying this next week! Also, your kitchen is just perfection! Whoever decorated it has an amazing eye.👏
I LOVE that kitchen!
oh my goodness this looks incredible! would it work the same for fresh picked raspberries?
Ohhhh that “pop” … soooo satisfying. Lol.
Been looking for a simple one with less sugar. Can’t wait to make it.
How does the vanilla flavor taste in it? And can you omit it?
3 cups cooked fruit to 1 cup sugar will make a nice butter.

This was interesting, fun, well-explained….at just the right pace. Thank you❤

Jam butter is just like strawberry jam that has chunks in it, but the emulsion stick makes it a new TH-cam sensation.
This was great! I would love to see more canning videos :D
