Balsamic Strawberry Jam

Jun.posted by Paula 30 Comments

Jump to Recipe

I shared a special day with my mother making this Balsamic Strawberry Jam and couldn’t wait to share it with you.

I grew up watching my mother can fruits and vegetables as well as make jams, jellies, and preserves. I helped her shell peas and butter beans (lima beans), husk, clean and cut off corn, peel peaches; you name it I helped her. Mother taught school during the school year and her ‘Summer job’ (besides raising us and driving us to ball practice and friend’s houses to play) was taking care of the garden.

We canned and froze enough vegetables to feed an army to last through the winter. Jeez, I don’t know why, I mean, there were stores where you could buy the stuff. It was just how they were raised so that’s what we did. Plus, we ate vegetables

every.

single.

day.

of.

every.

single.

week.

I never had the desire to can anything. I mean, Mother still cans, and best of all she SHARES!!!!!

I never saw the need to do it myself, until this year after some health issues. I realized I need to learn some of her secrets.

I love strawberry jam and you just can’t purchase jam-like she makes. Strawberry Jam was my first experience at canning. I love the way it turned out and Ryder loved it as well. He’s always been a Concord Grape Jelly man, until now!

I enjoyed the Strawberry Jam and the canning process so much, I decided I wanted to be more adventurous and try this recipe for Balsamic Strawberry Jam. The balsamic vinegar gives the jam a wonderful tart, robust flavor. It’s my new favorite!

What’s your favorite jam or jelly? Have you canned jam or jelly before?

    This sounds so yummy! I love strawberry jam, but have never tried balsamic strawberry jam. We are big balsamic fans at our house, so I’m sure it will be a hit. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great weekend!

    Can you put it in a water bath for canning and how long would you water bath it?

      I sterilized the jars and lids first and right before I put the jam in, I take the jars out, dry them and fill them 3/4 full, put the lids on, let them sit and listen for the ‘pop’ to seal. But I don’t put the filled jars back in water bath. Is that what you’re talking about?

        How long will it keep? (If it isn’t eaten). 😉

          3 weeks in fridge, if it’s not sterilized and sealed.

    Some of my best memories are of the whole family, okay well the women in my extended family, getting together and canning, freezing or otherwise preserving the summer harvest from the farm. Passing on the knowledge that food preservation can be done at home safely is extremely important. Glad to know that the vinegar doesn’t affect the jelling process. Looking forward to trying!

      When I was young it was just something I ‘had’ to do, mostly I only cut up or washed items, but I value that experience and wish I had participated more in it. Thanks for stopping by.

    Paula,

    I love to see canned jams, jellies and vegetables. There is some sort of pride in the completion of the project. It is a big project. It’s nice you shared with us about your mom and her canning and preserving. My mom did the same thing. And she shared too. Yours are really beautiful.

    I’d love for you to link this to What’d You Do This Weekend.

    Wishes for tasty dishes,
    Linda
