Lol omg my first canning project relived. U Kneady and Mandy were my inspiration to step and do this. That was 2 years ago. I canned soup after that. I've been having a little struggle going back to school lately had to open soup. I was nervous about eating soup I canned smelled good etc. I'm good I'm here. Dang friend I can survive. Thanks to all my awesome canning friends for the education. Catch a fish for a man or teach a man to fish.... My friends taught me to fish. 😊
I just finished making old fashioned strawberry jam with no pectin strawberries were $0.79 at Aldis. I was watching videos including your videos. 🤣 my first time making jam and I feel so accomplished!!.😋
My daughters dog acts the same way and she puts a t shirt on her girl as snug as as possible and it helps with her anxiety and makes those stressful times easier on her
My paternal grandma was originally from Newfoundland, and she made lots of jellies and preserves. Did you ever have "fish & brews"? It takes a while to make it, but it is well worth it!
I just made 4 and a 1/2 half pints two days ago. 2 1/2 cups strawberries, 3 cups pure cane sugar a a lemon. Berries and sugar in a wide flat pan, mashed most of them. I cut the lemon, juiced it and cut it in several slices and added them to the pan. When a lot of syrup was in the pan, I strained it in a Callander over a bowl. I put the syrup back in the pan and cooked it down . When it was thicker, I put the Berries and lemon back in for a couple minutes. Then jarred and canned it. Removing the lemon peels.The lemon releases pectin to thicken the jam. It is fantastic.
I'm a rebel and I puree my strawberries so it spreads smoothly on my toast lol. I do that with all of my jam except pineapple jam. Yours looks beautiful as always. ❤
Had to rewatch this video as I prep to get my jam on ... strawberry season is the best ... btw I absolutely love these jars. We use them so so much stuff!!
I'll be happy to be able to walk into a store that carries canning jars and actually see the shelves with jars and lids on them! It's the small things that count.🤗
Watched your vlog on canning water i appreciated it! Im getting ready to make some jam and came back to your channel to refresh my memory. I just subscribed to improve my canning skills all around. Thank you!💕
I made this last week! So amazing ... I cant post links in the group but I wanted you to know I did a video response it will be up tommrow! I figured you may want to know you inspired my jam!
The Thunderjacket ($39.95 for size M about 5 yrs ago) does nothing for my dog who gets crazy freaked out by thunder and fireworks. I use Benadryl, which slightly works.
The thundershirts do work. I had a Shih Tzu and they worked great. I have a Maltese/Shih Tzu now and Ziva sometimes get nervous and she only weighs 5 lbs so I tie a hand towel or one of her little blankets around her middle and that works because they do not make a thundershirt that is small enough for her.
Beautiful jams! Those thunder shirts are expensive. I had a dog trainer tell me to buy a cheap kids tshirt at walmart and wrap with an ace bandage. I never tested that but it may do in a pinch.
I just found this recipe! Looks delicious! I'm curious about the pectin....you added it in the video with your sugar but it's not in your recipe in the description. How much do I need to add?
I just bought some of those! I was doing a mixed batch with those jars and the taller ones and kept thinking these held less. I wonder if customers will feel like it's a smaller quantity? I know that both were 1/2 points, but kept thinking they felt weird. Maybe because I was doing both at once.....or maybe I am just weirdly obsessed?
Can I use frozen strawberries? If so do i need to thaw them first or can i use them directly from the freezer? Thank you in advance! Hoping to make this this evening!
I tried to try one on my dog before I bought it and she wasn't having it. Good thing too because small was too small, medium was too big. 1 out of 4 freak out in storms and very ironically, her name is Storm (she was born during Hurricane Irene).
This jam was GORGEOUS. But Leza, diabetes is such a problem for so many Americans!!!!! I'VE beeb trying to perfect a sugar free strawberry jam...& While i can make something...it never turns out beautiful, red & clear...like yours. Its always been milky looking. I'm guessing the sugar plays a huge role..(like it does it candy for instance). I WISH you'd consider this challenge for all these diabetic Americans & show us how it's done! If anyone can perfect it, YOU CAN!
I love these jars, too! I've used them to jar up my ghee. It's so easy to get to every bit of goodness in these jars! You probably won't see thus question on such an old video.. but are you stacking these in a smaller pot? I'm thnking you might fit more jars than if you used jelly jars.
Help please! I need your experienced guesstimate. I made chili over the weekend. I just now, Friday, decided to clean jars and put them away. They were fine, until I washed them. Then all the reg mouth jars opened. Do I dare use chili tonight or this weekend (if refrigerated)?
@@SuttonsDaze Do you think the wide mouth that stay sealed are ok? Or should I wait a few weeks and see if lids pop off for them too? Right now, they hold a seal when I lift jar by the lid. Bummed to have wasted so much money. Sigh. But again... thank you. I just had to hear someone confirm my suspicion.
Love your videos.. Great teacher.. (hand raised,) i have a question. A little off topic, if you don’t/can’t answer I understand. Pear Preserves, I have made them a few times, still learning. Last batch, I guess I cooked them too long. They are hard as a rock in the jars. Can they be salvaged? Used for anything? Or just throw them away? I only used Pears and Sugar, nothing else. Any help would be appreciated.
Your jam looks beautiful...how do you figure up a price when selling it?I want to hit the farmers maket....I love your tutorials, keep up teaching your skills please...your great at your gift.. Jeannie Noll
My husband loves strawberry shortcake. Can you can the strawberries without pectin to use for that instead of jam or jelly? Also, thunder vest works great for my grand dog.
@@SuttonsDaze I watched your strawberry jam video 10 times. It was a success 26 half pints all sealed. I quadrupled your recipe but did 1 to 1 fruit to sugar.
Hello I just watched ur video very good but my question to u is how much pectin did you use I know you said how many cups of sugar. Thank you I really enjoyed your video.
When I make muscadine jelly I never seem to put enough pectin in. I doubled the amount that is recommended this time for grapes and it still wasn't enough. I'm so frustrated.
This is my first video of yours that I have seen. I have a question. I make jam and I always put the pectin in, bring to a boil, and then add the sugar and boil for 1 minute. I have never done it this way. Can you explain why you put the sugar in first or does it not make any difference what order the ingredients are used? I'm so new to canning, that I follow the rules exactly. If it doesn't make any difference, that is good to know!
You want the sugar to bind with the fruit first because there is so much of it. Then you add the pectin because you don't want it to break down while putting in the sugar. You want the pectin to act as a binding agent to the fruit to preserve the fruit's taste while the sugar keeps the mold and bacteria away from growing on or in the jam or jelly. :-)
NO strawberry jammin' going on here this year. For reals! lol I did do some strawberry-rhubarb (and kind of blitzed it with a stick blender because some people don't like rhubarb pulp) but hubby and I just don't eat it, sadly. Sure enjoyed seeing yours though, it looks awesome! So sad your dogs get stressed during fireworks. Could they have a vet-approved relaxant? Sad for dogs locally I heard whimpering/crying from people shooting off illegal fireworks (here it is illegal completely---zero private fireworks supposedly). In past we always only had hunting dogs so they weren't bothered. Most dogs, of course, are not and that makes this time of year difficult for them. :( Our cats couldn't have cared less because of course...Cat. Lol! Hope your back is fine and no longer bothering you!
my gsd was petrified to the point she ripped awhole in my floor once. a thunder jacket would not have worked for her because the tighter hold her the more she fought we litterly made a "thunder cage" so she couldnt damage the house and for the most part she couldnt hurt herself either that being said when we knew there was a storm we drugged her with the good stuff from the vet benadryl had the opposite effect on her
No, I've never had a dog that was scared of thunderstorms. Sorry, I don't know of anyone who has tried the thunder jackets personally. But I've that they are vet approved. I hope they help your pups. My dogs sleep better when its storming. The rain tapping on the roof and the wind rocking the motorhome. I tend to fall asleep too.
This was a delight to watch... it felt like an escape from reality. Beautiful jam!
I lucked out last year on strawberries and canned enough strawberry jam to last us 2 or 3 years. We love it.

My son in law and I put up 21 half pints of this today after we went and picked the strawberries this morning. This stuff is amazingly delightful!
Looks great!
My dog was freaked out over the fireworks last night. I had to hold and cuddle him until it was over,. I love strawberry jam.
Thanks Lesa. I made jam with you today right here. I got 28 jars (4 batches). 😊
Great job!

BEAUTIFUL FOOD, LEISA! And 'YOU' did it! You and the farmer with the blessings of the Creator! WHAT A TEAM! : )
Thank you!
I made your cherry jam and it was scrumptious! So today I am making this! Thanks for being there for us newbie canners!
Looks so delicious I guess now I would have to go on can't we some strawberry jam.
Leisa, God bless your abundance of jam and raspberry is so good. Nice tutorial through a thunderstorm. 👍👍❤️❤️🌻🌻🇺🇸🇺🇸🦋🦋🐕🐕
Looks good
I will so be making this! Looks fabulous!
My dog has a thunder shirt, I have pictures of before and after….They do work, worth every penny.
Blessings sweet girl! 🙋💕
very beautiful jam
I love the recipe for your jam you are great at exsplaing
Looks delicious.
Looks awesome! Thank for sharing! Before I got a thunder shirt I tried a semi tight tee shirt on my pup and it worked!
I'm a rebel and I puree my strawberries so it spreads smoothly on my toast lol. I do that with all of my jam except pineapple jam. Yours looks beautiful as always. ❤
Cannot wait to try this!! TFS!! 💓💓💓
EXCELLENT!!!
Thank You So Much For taking Time to Make Videos I absolutely Love this Strawberry Jam YUM! I tagged You In My Post!
Looks lovely! I will be making strawberry jam soon! Thx for sharing!
Love strawberry as anything
Beautiful! This makes me weep that I am allergic to strawberries 😩
Had to rewatch this video as I prep to get my jam on ... strawberry season is the best ... btw I absolutely love these jars. We use them so so much stuff!!
looks delicious! cant wait for jeff's vr!
Deliciosu strawberry Jam.Enjoyed and watched fully to try it later..
I am growing strawberries too
We’ve had the same thing with our dogs too!!!
Thunder jacket sorta works. Calming drops work good & sometimes groomer use those
I wish it would rain here but sadly I live in the desert. I make strawberry jam For gifts at Christmas.
Today, I made 12 half pints of strawberry freezer jam. 🍓 Yours looks delicious, too!
I like freezer jam much better. It tastes like they are right off the vine.
Love Hoosier Hill products!
I'll be happy to be able to walk into a store that carries canning jars and actually see the shelves with jars and lids on them! It's the small things that count.🤗
Mmmm, yummy yummy yummy.
Thunder jacket did not work for our dog. Storms and fireworks were really bad for him. Jam looks awesome!
wide mouth 1/2 pints are great for pressure canning too!
One day I'll have to go that small...lol
Can I purchase your Jam! Great video, truly inspiring, am hungry - Good night and best wishes!
Watched your vlog on canning water i appreciated it! Im getting ready to make some jam and came back to your channel to refresh my memory. I just subscribed to improve my canning skills all around. Thank you!💕
The jam looks delicious Leisa😋😋
If we did want to blend it up some so it wasn't so chunky, would that affect the process at all?
Nope
My dog loves his thunder jacket! Beautiful, did you skim?
I made this last week! So amazing ... I cant post links in the group but I wanted you to know I did a video response it will be up tommrow! I figured you may want to know you inspired my jam!

Looks delicious!
I'm curious about the pectin....you added it in the video with your sugar but it's not in your recipe in the description. How much do I need to add?
Leisa , I canned some strawberry jam last year , it was very good but I like my jam thicker . What can I add more of to make it thicker ? Thanks

Mine too. I am just not good at making jam. No matter what-- always runny.

How much pectin did you use? The link won’t work and I was curious about that pectin. Reviews are mixed
I would like a recipe that takes less sugar, is that even possible?
My I ask a question ❓ How much do you sell your jars of jams for?
$5 8oz
@@SuttonsDaze thank you 💖
👋😊
I thought jelly=juice only, jam=juice and pulp and preserves=juice, pulp and chunks. Have i been wrong all these years?
I called it what the recipe called it. I'd have to look up the definition
6 cups of sugar is a lot… 4 is what I use now because that’s way too sweet for me.
Got 3 thunder jackets & may help some but still shiver , so I say No
I feel your pain....lol
