Can, Can, Can you do the Can Can?

Today I made my first batch of strawberry jam. How did it go? Oh, not too bad, I think, but the proof will be in the ironic hypothetical pudding.

Sterilizing and heating the jars in a canner.

Little dark, but here is the first layer of berries to be mashed.

Lemon and sugar added to the mashed strawberries.

Brought to a high boil for 1 minute.
After boiling, I added pectin.

After stirring and skimming for five minutes, it's ready to be funnelled into the jars. 

Heat processing.

Ready to cool and be stored!

I bought liquid pectin and followed the instructions, as well as reading up online. I sampled it and it's got pretty good flavour. I'm hoping to use it in strawberry turnovers this summer. The Dude will be one happy man.
