Canning Strawberries? Try These Delicious And Easy Recipes!
Spring is in the air and one thing's for sure: it's strawberry season in Georgia, and I am so excited!
There's something truly magical about plucking ripe, juicy strawberries straight from the vine, isn't there? And what better way to enjoy this sweet fruit than by preserving it to enjoy long after the season has gone?
By canning them, of course! Canning strawberries allows us to savor the essence of summer's sweetness year-round!
In this recipe round-up, I’m sharing three strawberry canning recipes guaranteed to put a smile on your face and brighten your pantry.
3 STRAWBERRY CANNING RECIPES
First up, we have a classic favorite: sweet, juicy, sugar-free strawberry jam. Perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor, this recipe proves that indulgence doesn't always require heaps of sugar.
Next is a fresh summer low-sugar strawberry freezer jam—a quick and easy alternative to preserving your beautiful strawberries.
And finally, delicious strawberry honey butter—a heavenly spread that pairs perfectly with everything from warm biscuits to fluffy pancakes!
SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY JAM CANNING RECIPE
I love canning strawberry jam - knowing that it is homemade and healthier than store-bought preserves. They don't contain any added sugars, preservatives, or colorants.
My favorite way of making sugar-free strawberry jam is by water-bath canning. It is quick, easy, and delicious! This is the perfect strawberry jam canning recipe for first-time canners, with no added sugar!
You’ll also learn a bit more about how to grow your own strawberries at home!
FRESH SUMMER LOW-SUGAR STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM
This yummy and easy-to-make low-sugar strawberry freezer jam is great if you are not yet comfortable with water-bath canning.
This recipe also has no added sugar and is sweetened with local raw honey, delicious unsweetened apple juice, and crushed strawberries. Ball® Canning has a wonderful low-to-no-sugar pectin, which works amazingly and gives the jam a perfect texture.
It’s a wonderful treat you can make that will last you all year!
DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY HONEY BUTTER
Fruit butter has a lot less sugar than traditional jams and jellies, making this a great and healthier option.
This strawberry butter contains much less sugar than strawberry jam and is made without any dairy, getting its name for its rich, buttery texture. Trust me, you’ll find it to be quite delicious!
It makes the perfect accompaniment to freshly baked biscuits or bread!
