This post is for our Northern friends who right now are not thinking about canning but, probably would like to so they could warm up their houses.
I was very disappointed this past summer when jungle camp was at the same time as strawberry season. Strawberry Jam is a Glidewell family staple. God's timing is so neat. Just as we were cleaning up our last jar of jam from 2006 Florida Strawberries came out. So I grabbed a flat and made some more jam. To God be the Glory! We love strawberry jam.Does anyone know why our jam floats?
Answer is: Because I don't hot water bath them. I just turn them upside down on a towel and cover them with another towel until they have cooled. They automatically seal themselves. I learned this trick from Ball canning supplies and I only do it with my strawberry jam. It saves a lot of time and energy. I've been doing it for four years now and have not had any problems with broken seals.
