Strawberry Jam With Grand Marnier - cooking recipe

Ingredients

7 pints fresh strawberries (6 cups mashed fruit)
1/2 cup Grand Marnier
1 cup apple juice
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package ball no-sugar pectin
2 cups sugar (or 2 1/2 cups if your berries are on the not-so-sweet side)

Preparation

Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. (Removing the stems first makes them too watery.) Mash the strawberries with a potato masher and measure six cups of mashed fruit (if you have less, add extra apple juice so that you have 6 cups).
Combine mashed berries, Grand Marnier, apple juice and pectin in a large non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil for 1 minute.
Skim foam and discard. Add sugar all at once and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute. Ladle or pour hot jam into hot jars, set lids and process for 10 minutes.
