9 Jam Canning Recipes for Beginners

August 8, 2018 by Jenny Gomes Leave a Comment

Jam is the first type of preserve that people think of when they think of canning recipes for beginners, for good reason. Jam is nearly foolproof for beginners because the recipes are quite high in acid, making them very safe, and they frequently call for very few ingredients making them fast and simple to prepare. The worst thing that can happen in jam making is it turns out a little bit thin, which is essentially syrup. When syrup is your worst case scenario, I think you should feel confident diving in as a beginner with these 9 jam recipes!

Tomato Jam Recipe 

This recipe calls for Roma tomatoes, which are typically denser and thus cook into a thicker sauce a bit faster. You can use whatever tomato you have on hand, however, and this is a great recipe to use a variety if that is what you have. There’s a free download of the jam recipe in the post too!

Smooth Blackberry Jam 

Blackberries are probably my favorite berry. I grew up picking wild blackberries on my family ranch with my mom, grandmother, and brother and sister (with dogs Dodger and Missy keeping an eye out for bears nearby- more than once they saw one!). Blackberries can be a little seedy but they are so, so good and this recipe has a sneaky trick for quickly removing a significant portion of the seeds- enough that a picky child or discriminating adult would be thrilled.

Best Berry Jam 

A recipe that is to die for and to please even the pickiest eater. A not-so-seedy jam is also less likely to get an objection from a picky child. Can you gather yet that I have picky kids? It’s a tragedy.
