Strawberry Jam with Powdered Pectin

5 1/2 cups crushed strawberries (abt 3 one-quart boxes strawberries)
1 package powdered pectin
8 cups sugar

To prepare fruit. Sort and wash fully ripe strawberries; remove stems and caps. Crush berries.

To make jam. Measure crushed strawberries into a kettle. Add pectin and stir well. Place on high heat and, stirring constantly, bring quickly to a full boil with bubbles over the entire surface. Add sugar, continue stirring, and heat again to a full bubbling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; skim. Pour immediately into hot, sterile canning jars to 1/4-inch from top. Seal, and process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

This recipe yields 9 or 10 half-pint jars.
