Ingredients

Method

In large Dutch oven or preserving pot and using potato masher, mash strawberries thoroughly, 1 layer at a time, to make 6 cups (1.5 L).

Mix pectin crystals with 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the sugar; stir into berries. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; stir into berries along with vanilla pod. Bring to full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon. Add remaining sugar and return to full rolling boil; boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Discard vanilla pod.

Using funnel and 1/2-cup (125 mL) measure, fill hot 1-cup (250 mL) canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch (5 mm) headspace. Remove any air bubbles, readjusting headspace if necessary. If necessary, wipe rims. Cover with prepared lids. Screw on bands until resistance is met; increase to fingertip tight. Boil in boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
