Servings: 24
Yield: 2 9-inch loaves

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 3 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ¼ cups vegetable oil
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 ¼ cups chopped pecans

Directions

• Slice strawberries and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle lightly with one tablespoon of sugar and toss to coat.
• Combine the flour, 2 cups sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl and mix well.

Bumbleberry Jam

Whether you’re a seasoned canner or just dipping your toes into the world of preserves, this vibrant Bumbleberry Jam recipe is a delicious way to capture the season’s flavors.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Additional Time: 12 hrs
Total Time: 13 hrs
Servings: 80
Yield: 10 (8oz) jars

Ingredients

• 6 cups white sugar
• 1 cup chopped rhubarb
• 1 cup mashed strawberries
• 1 cup mashed peaches
• 1 cup mashed blackberries
• 1 cup mashed blueberries
• 1 cup chopped apples
• 1 (1.75-ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell)

Directions

• Combine sugar, rhubarb, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, blueberries, and apples in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook at a boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add pectin to the saucepan and boil until jam coats the back of a metal spoon, about 10 minutes more. Remove from heat.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lids and screw the rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and, using a holder, lower the jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water. Pour more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store them in a cool, dark area.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Additional Time: 1 day 10 mins
Total Time: 1 day 30 mins
Servings: 32
Yield: 2 pints

Ingredients

• 4 cups halved fresh strawberries
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 (1.75 ounce) package dry pectin
• ¼ cup water

Directions

• Gather all ingredients.
• Crush strawberries using a potato masher in a large bowl. (Alternatively, pulse strawberries in a food processor until just finely chopped but not pureed.) Drain strawberries through a fine mesh strainer; reserve juice for another use. Transfer 2 cups crushed strawberries to a large bowl (reserve any extra strawberries for another use); add sugar, and stir until evenly combined. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, stir pectin and water together in a small saucepan until combined. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms and pectin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Stir the boiling pectin-water mixture into the strawberry mixture in a large bowl; stir constantly for 3 minutes. To check if jam is set, coat the back of a spoon with jam; run a finger through it. If jam remains separated, it is appropriately set. If the jam runs back together, it is not set; stir until set, for 3 more minutes. Pour into 2 sterilized pint-size jars or other storage containers, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the top to allow for expansion. Place the tops on the containers, and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, or freeze until ready to use or up to 3 months. Enjoy!
