Well, I figure since I am always doing Jams and Marmalade's, I might as well do one for the Ball Blue Book of Preserving and get my Book Marked Recipe done early. Ruth host's it weekly and I have greatly enjoyed trying to get something done every week. So I had planned on a Spiced Blueberry Jam today, but have been itching to make Strawberry Marmalade. I love Marmalade and Strawberry Jam so how awesome can the 2 be together? Thinking I was putting strawberry lemonade in a jar I just had to make it. 
Strawberry-Lemon Marmalade4 c crushed strawberries (about 2 quarts)
1 package powdered pectin
1 Tbsp lemon juice
6 c sugar
Cover lemon peel with water; boil 5 minutes; drain. Combine lemon peel, strawberries, powdered pectin and lemon juice in a large sauce pot. Bring slowly to a boil. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a 
rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot marmalade into hot jars, leaving ¼-inch head space. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling- water canner.

mm..strawberry with a hint of lemon. Yummy!! Sadly I didn’t have much left a ton of foam for once, and a little marmalade that I added to it making a funky bowl of the two which still tastes fantastic. I love the bright red color of it as well. I got a bakers dozen of little 4 oz jars that 13..hmm 12..lucky people will get in their Christmas package! And for once the event is done before the day it is do haha.

Perfect Christmas present! I've made a little jam for Christmas baskets but have more in mind!
I have really wanted to try canning for a while now- the little jars you use are so cute!
It took me years to get the courage to do it haha.. and I am not sure if they are right, I think I make them a bit to thick hehe.. but it will take practice and I am loving making them. I am going to end up with sooo many come the holidays, too many plans for em.
i just had my first canning experience (i blogged about it, too) but haven't tried jam yet. i'm a little scared but might try it if i get t use cut teeny jars.
Tina this jam sounds great, love the idea of the lemon with the strawberries. Great idea for a Christmas present!
Wow those look so amazing. I can't wait to get to taste some!!!!
