Strawberries are one of the first fruits of the summer, and a great excuse to dust off your canning equipment and get jammin’!
Strawberries are naturally high acid and high sugar, making them perfect for water bath canning. Strawberries don’t need anything special added for canning. It can be as simple as 1 ingredient strawberry jam, cooked down to thicken.
Want to can without pectin? No problem.
Sweeten with honey, maple or Splenda? Go right ahead.
No sugar instead? That works too!
Try mixing in other fruits, spicing things up with herbs, or making a creative strawberry syrup.
Whatever you do, don’t limit yourself to just jam. There are dozens of creative ways to can strawberries. My favorite is a simple low sugar strawberry jam.
If you’re lucky enough to come upon a patch of wild strawberries, those little beauties can be made into a wild strawberry jam to preserve their intense flavor for the winter months.

Strawberries are without a doubt one of my favorite fruits.I absolutely love canning strawberries but have never tried combining it with herbs and spices… have pinned to try. Thanks for creating a wonderful resource for canning strawberries and including my recipe ♥

I have stumbled across what I’m calling the Mecca U-Pick strawberry farm (less than five minutes from my apartment!!). Big, huge, healthy, happy strawberries every Saturday….which has led to me having wayyyy too many even for my strawberry-addicted wife and teenage son to eat. Beekeeper’s strawberry jam is great and all….but I am SOOOOO happy to have also stumbled upon your site and this AWESOME resource for strawberry preserving! Now I don’t have to give up my self-care pleasure of U-picking strawberries for fear of too many going to waste. Thank you so much!

Hi. We are Tom and Judy Murphy and live in Crystal Lake, Illinois. We have just got interested in canning. We do not have all of the fancy equipment, yet, but are getting excited, So far, we have made canned Green beans, carrots and just yesterday, asparagus. We would like to do strawberries, not just for jam and pie filling, but kind of just for eating. Any suggestions? We have done the water bath method only, by the way
