CAN Strawberry Jam with ME & Martin's Station 2022 

I agree with Lady Debra. You inspire me. I'm a 72 year old widow and I want to be like you when I grow up. I'm always ready to watch your next video.

I learn so much from this Channel.

We might think we are nurturing our garden but something the truth is our garden is really nurturing us. Much like our garden Patara is our mustard seed nurturing us as homesteaders and Christians Patara thanks for the blessing and giving me so much knowledge with homesteading, canning, and so much more. Many blessings

Skimmed off foam on saltine crackers is a favorite snack on jam-making day. My Mom gave it to us and I gave it to my kids.

I do the same with my masher. Every strawberry is a politician! I love smashing them. That foam is so good on biscuits.

Hilled my potato buckets, trellised malabar spinach, replanted beans. Making a run for preps today.

Canned for my 1st time couple days ago. Pulled pork😋 now have ground beef cooking to can. Trying to do the meats in my freezer in case of power outages🙂

I've made strawberry jam, pineapple jam, blackberry jams also. They turned out wonderfully.

Re-enactments are so cool, you see a lot of old ways some are keeping alive . Good thing because these old ways might be needed again very soon. Blacksmiths, builders so very important along with herbalist apothecary . I love strawberry jam preserves

Patara, on Saturday I sent a box of wine cap mushroom spawn to your PO Box. They are simple to grow outside on wood chips. I got home, and the letter and instructions were sitting on my kitchen table. So these will be arriving in a separate envelope. Love the channel!

Thank you for this. I've been afraid of canning after an epic fail in the 80's. I feel an urgent need to learn everything I can

WE AS A SOCIETY MUST REMEMBER OUR PAST

Patara, you are totally awesome at everything you do. Can't get to your videos fast enough.

I'm canning bacon today, got to go pick strawberries at 10 acre farm here in Western NC. I'M SO BUSY I meet myself going all the time lol Much love to everyone ✨❤💕💛

Yesterday, I made strawberry jam from berries in the freezer and blueberry jam from frozen bags on sale for 99 cents a bag! Today, I made ice cream from powdered milk and strawberry jam--used my immersion blender---delicious!! Need to use up a can of expired powdered milk so its going to be our frozen dessert all summer (we eat dessert only once a week, usually).

I grew up going tobthe farm to pick strawberries to make jam

We used to wash in a colander sitting in the sink or, we put the colander over a pot. Then we would pit and place the pitted berries in a big bowl. From the bowl, we would chop or quarter into a big measuring cup. When full, the measuring cup would be emptied into the cook pot; and hopefully, we remembered the correct count of cups of strawberries. Any juices would either be drunk as a cook's treat or dumped into the cook pot; usually there was only a tablespoon or so. If we ended up with more berries than what fit in the cook for a batch, decisions had to be made: eat the de-topped and chopped berries fresh, measure and freeze in bags, or cover and refrigerate for an additional batch following the current batch. - The years we made multiple batches, as soon as there was enough for the first it was started. While that was cooking, another measured batch would continue to be prepared in-between stirring and canning the first batch; if it was hot, the chopped strawberries would be in the fridge as soon as they were measured. Then while the cooking pot was being washed, the strawberries came out of the fridge to warm up before being added to the freshly washed pot. 2 batches in a long day was about it for one person. And, even with 2 people we seldom cooked and canned more than 2 (there comes a time when dinner needs to be cooked in that kitchen too). De-stemming and chopping was sometimes done on day 1 then refrigerated for cooking the next day. I don't remember ever making more than 4 batches in the same time frame; that's a lot of jam. If there were still more strawberries, we prepped them for the freezer.

For pectin I add a little strawberry jello to the jam. We really like the flavor it adds too and I can use less sugar since the jello is sweet.

Patara, my wife and I are planning to do this tonight. Your upload came ar the perfect time. We appreciate you tremendously! 🙏🏽 🥰

Patara Thsnk you for this wonderful and easy Strawberry jam recipe , I can’t wait to make some myself ! Also I love your videos your a bright light in the mist of all this shortage mess we’re in ! I’m so excited I’ve been praying that God would guide me to some 56 gallon food grade barrels to store water in for my stockpile ! Well yesterday I secured 5 / 55 gallon food grade barrels and I got them for $5.00 each , the man said he just wanted them out of his yard and I am glad he did want them out of his yard and that I had seen them and ask about them ! I know they are food grade because there is shipping label on each barrel ) they had Tart Cherry juice Concentrate ( 2) snd (3) had Blackberry juice concentrate, labels had the shipped content on each barrel with the company name and address and phone number and the inside of each barrel has a enamel type coating ( but isn’t ) inside each barrel and each barrel has a lid with locking ring ! I l live on a tight fixed income and have been stockpiling since the pandemic started , but couldn’t ever find any reasonable food grade barrels once the shortages began , but God blessed me and I had to tell you , I’m so happy !! I feel that I’ve taken a huge step towards completing my stockpile to a place where I at least feel comfortable that I can survive for a good while since I’ve been stocking back for over 2 yrs and can at least take a deep breath and continue to stock as I can on my income and as prices allow !! Now out to wash well with water snd bleach and wipe down very good with vinegar and tincexeith water again and let sit dry them fill with water !!love ya and God bless ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻

Well I was just wondering if you would post today and BOOM there you are! So glad to 'see' you today, my friend.

Strawberry foam on toast was my favourite treat as a kid ❤

My husband and I did reenactment like these. He also did one at and old fort in Indiana. Blacksmith, Baker, leather maker. I learned different ways to do things my grandmother taught me.

I just finished canning up our figs from last fall. Pulled them out of the freezer to make space. You are right, strawberry jam is one of the easiest to can. I also like blueberry jam, another easy one. This year, finally, I have figured out an easier way to make seedless blackberry. The chickens appreciate the seeds, I don’t! I need to check on how many quarts of frozen strawberries I have now. Maybe that will be next! Thanks Patara!

My ancestor fought in the Revolutionary war in the Shenandoah valley Virginia I love a good reenactment thank you for all you do Patera have a blessed day

You were in my neck of the woods. Have spent many an hour reenacting at Martin's in days gone by. You were a stones throw from the farm. My view of the Gap is priceless! This is God's country.

I’m getting ready to do my jam also! ☺️ I love the Reenactments. My friend and her family do this every year. We love history in my house. (Real history) 😉 ❤️🙏

I made so much jams and jellies last year that I am going to be looking for alternatives for my berries this year. I still have over a year supply of jellies The foam is my favorite part of jams and jellies. It tastes so good like candy!

Looks delicious. I am excited to can some strawberries soon. I just did a mixed berry jam last week. Had a mixture of berries that needed out of the freezer, had been in a tad long. Take care. Thanks for all you do.

My hubby and I used to do Civil War reenacting. Many of our unit, the 48th Tennessee, also crossed over into Rev War reenacting. Your video of the reenactment sure did bring back good memories. I make my strawberry jam exactly like you did. I never use pectin in anything so I can use less sugar. I like to taste the fruit and not the sugar.

I just made strawberry jam this am. Good morning sweet friend!!

That. Spoon is cool

I’m so excited to make this strawberry jam! I got some nice strawberries at Costco today and this is a perfect way to use them and put them in our pantry!

Your jam is beautiful just like you! We reached 104 degrees in Texas yesterday...heat is zapping my “busy” plans! Please Pray for the rain we need it so much.

I dont know about anyone else but there are times when I put off putting canned foods away because I love to look at them on the counter! Especially Jams...they are so pretty!

I recently bought a waterbath canner but I haven't used it yet. This might have to be my first attempt. Thank you!

I was going to research strawberry jam today and boom! Thank you! My plants have blessed me this year!!

I canned strawberry jam for the first time since I was a kid. Back then we would sterilize the jars, lids, and ring; pour in the boiling hot jam; put on the lid and ring, and leave them upside down for 24 hours to seal them. I guess that method is a no-no now. It's a good memory anyway. Thank you for the inspiration!

Thank you , Patara, rewatching this today April 30, 2024 God bless you for all the amazing content you bless us with . Mrs j Montgomery County, Texas 🙏

God Bless you sweet Sista. I constantly pray for you for all the farm life that you share with all the farmers and homesteaders. God has a special place for you in Heaven one day. 👍🛐💕💕

I so look forward to your videos 🍓😊 thankyou!!! much love blessings to you hun! and all who watch this lovely channel ❤️

Thank you. I am going to try canning for the first time this year and have no grandmothers or mother to teach me how to do it.

That spoon was gorgeous. I am going to make some of this for gifts!

You've inspired me. It's been a long time since I've canned jam (long time ago when we used wax seal like my mama taught me), but now I'm planning to do later this week. Thanks so much! I can do this!

I'm coming to Tennessee to visit relatives in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry I missed this.

Thank you sister girl!! Those will be so tasty this winter!♥️

love that spoon

Expanding my garden today. Love making strawberry jam 💗

Thanks Patara!

Glad to see you found time to get your jam canned.

Jam making is my favorite time of canning season! I like all kinds!

Yes been wanting this video!!!!!! Thank you girl!

Made 6 jars of strawberry preserves today. It’s yummy 😋 Thank for sharing Sis! Have a blessed, productive week.

Martin's Station is so beautiful. I love taking my grandkids there!

Hello Patara. Thanks for sharing your quick and easy recipe to can strawberry jam!! Be well.

Yep 👍 strawberry jam was my first canning last June . Thanks Patera ❤️

Going to try Strawberries too little lady! Sweet girl, just keep on, keep on because you give me strength to keep on!❤️

Working in my garden this morning. It was nice to come in to a new post from you. Peace and bountiful blessings.

Got 18 jars myself from the farms here in Portland, TN and then 2 jars of strawberry syrup for pancake and biscuits.

Nice and should come in handy, I've been thinking of trying to grow strawberries this year once summer comes around in my area.

I have never canned so really glad you made this video. Love all your videos :)

Thank you!! I'm doing this tomorrow. I'm teaching my girls as I teach myself.

Wow glad to know I don't need pectin for that thanks ( ya im kind of new to canning)😄🥰

Oh, Patera, I could almost smell those beautiful strawberries as you were mashing away! The jam looked beautiful in the jars. I agree that they would make beautiful Christmas (or anytime) gifts.

Thank you for taking the time to video the strawberry jam canning. Inspiring!

Hello::: Granny canned everything !!! I chopped 50 pound bag of Cabbage with a hand chopper. After 4 days I would sneak into the #10 brown Jar to get Sauerkraut. She caught me and got her part also. I would eat the core of the cabbage, she said that will kill you. Ain't killed me yet !!!

Thank you Patara. I'm going to try it this weekend, I have the courage after watching you. Lolololololol. It seems alot easier than I thought it would be. Have a great day. God bless you and your family.

Strawberry fig is a family favorite. Your recipe is so awesome. I agree on the chunkiness. YUMMY!!!! Who knows? We may be living just like that reenactment.

Nice and easy, great video and I like using the low sugar pectin option. I love having my blackberry and blood peach jam on hand through the year. Last year was an amazing year for my peach tree so I still have frozen, canned and dried peaches. I dehydrate my strawberries and blueberries for smoothies through the winter. Keeping busy!

Love it. Again you are an inspiration

Thank you for posting thus bc the strawberries just started getting big!

Yeah! You made strawberry jam. It looks great.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. I enjoy seeing them

That reenactment and music opening brought tears to my eyes Patara.❤️

I just made Strawberry Rhubarb Jam on Sunday for the first time. It taste wonderful. I love watching your channel, keep doing what your doing. ❤️

My brother and wife do the American Revolution reenactment too. Learn so much from them. Going to make strawberry jam.

Have my last pint batch pressure canning 40 lbs chicken thighs! Whew! Another batch of strawberries maybe tomorrow; I need to go get the suckers off my tomatoes! We got 2 really good deep rains yesterday! Very thankful! Thank you Patara for keeping so inspired to prepare for these uncertain times!

I think that I Saw My True Love at the Enactment😏👵, She was as Pardy as your Strawberry🍓🍫 Jam Patara!

Your Jam looks so delicious 😋!

Thank you Patara! Doing this this week!

I can't wait to try water bath canning some of my own berries this year!! If I ever get warm enough weather for them to grow!

I skim my foam off the jam as it cooks. I agree that it shouldn't be wasted! It is delicious on ice cream-Yum!

You did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

That is beautiful jam! 💕 🍓 love the history you incorporate in your vids. God bless!

That’s where I live! About 12 miles from it

Made strawberry jam this weekend. Yummy!

Love the strawberry milk idea with the skimmed foam

LOL GUESS WHAT? I made and preserved Strawberry Jam just Yesterday. Homesteaders think alike. Well our berries are coming in right now, so have to deal with those.

Just made a batch today from strawberries I got at the market - delicious!

Love strawberry jam. We canned 12 half pints last month. Thank you for your tips.

Oh so yummy 🤤

Beautiful Jam Patara!

Patara, you are always informative and you have refreshed my memory today. I can't use up large jars of preserves because I am diabetic. A little bit here and there and I am OK. SO, yesterday I tried little jars of rhubarb preserves and the little jars will not fit into the water bath canner like your larger ones do. Please, could you post a followup video on how to work with 1/4 and/or 1/2 pint jars? Some items just need smaller jars so you don't waste the contents. Thank you so much for keeping us informed and educated in the home arts. ~ Lynda

Thank you for sharing. Yes some time away is important

Thank you for sharing!

I LOVE your spoon.

Yessss I’m learning how to can do I need more content like this!

Hey! This is the video I've been waiting for. "We be Jammin'". 📻 🎼 🎤 🎵 🎶

Looks yummy 😋

Canning chicken and dehydrating carrots today... But strawberry jam sounds tasty and I have some in the freezer I got on sale! Thank you ma'am!
