Prepare the jars and lids:
-Take the rings off of the sealing lid and put aside.
-Put sealing lids in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. (The lids need to come to a boil and they're sanitized. You can prepare these early then boil later.)
-Rinse and/or wash jars and put in the 200 degree oven upside down.
Prepare your freshly picked strawberries:
-Thoroughly rinse strawberries under cold running water.
-After rinsing, cap strawberries and put in a very large pot.
-Chop strawberries using a Serrated Tooth Edge Manual Food Chopper.
Make strawberry honey:
-Put strawberries in the largest pot you own. This is necessary because the mixture doubles in size when cooking.
-Add the sugar.
-If you have time, stir and let the mixture sit until sugar dissolves.
-Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
-Boil for 20 minutes, continuing to stir often.
Prepare to put strawberry honey in jars:
-Remove strawberry honey from heat and skim foam off of the top until only strawberry honey remains.
-Remove jars from the oven and place near your pot.
-Put funnel over each jar and scoop strawberry honey into the jar.
-If necessary, skim any remaining foam off of honey in the jar.
-Use a damp paper towel to wipe off the edge of each jar.
-Using the magnetic lid lifter, place the lid on the top of each jar.
-Using a hot pad, hold the jar, place the ring over the lid and tighten.
-Invert the jars and set a timer for 5 minutes. When the five minutes are up, your jars will be sealed; wait for the popping of the lids to start. It's a wonderful summer sound in our family!
