Our famous local San Diego strawberries are at their peak right now!  Time to make #homemade #gluten-free #strawberry jam!  Add the juice of 1-2 local meyer lemons plus the zest of one lemon to your batch to add dimension and acidity (for safety) to the jam.

Here is a nice post by FoodInJars.com about adjusting the amount of sugar in the jam (http://foodinjars.com/2015/02/canning-101-can-reduce-sugar/

Suregel pectin has no obvious gluten ingredients, but when we called the Heinz company this week who makes it, they said they could not guarantee it was gluten-free and could be cross contaminated to contain > 20 ppm gluten.  SIGH!
​
So, here are some tips on making homemade pectin.  Note, if making apple pectin (we usually use a few green granny smith apples) be sure to remove the seeds first and definitely use the cores).
