    Thank you Brawny® Tear-A-Square® for sponsoring this post. Think of all the ways you can Put a Square There!

     

    Strawberry Mint Jam is the perfect way to enjoy the flavor of summer all year long!

    Here in Southern California, strawberry season is in full swing. And we sure are enjoying the beautiful bounty. I have been incorporating fresh, juicy, straight-from-the-garden strawberries into all my favorite dishes and baked goods (like these scrumptious Strawberry Cheesecake Bars). But we still end up with more ripe strawberries than we can use up, which is fine with me. Because a surplus of fresh berries means it's time for me to make my favorite Strawberry Mint Jam.

    Contrary to what many people think, making jam is actually quite simple. In fact, the most labor-intensive part of the process is washing and preparing the strawberries and canning jars. Luckily, my supply of new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels makes this prep work much easier.

    Since Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels include full, half, or quarter sheet size options, I can use just what I need. I grab a quarter sheet to use when washing and drying the strawberries.

    And the half sheet size works great when it’s time to clean my jars. I love being able to select the exact right size square for each use, without wasting any extra.

    Tips for Making Strawberry Mint Jam

    • Use this test to determine if the jam has set up. Place a small plate in the freezer to chill. Then, drizzle a little jam onto the plate and run your finger through it. If you leave a line in the jam, it should be set.
    • When in doubt, remember that it’s better to under cook than overcook your jam.
    • Make sure to add the mint is after the jam is ready, otherwise it will become bitter.

        I process for 10 minutes in boiling water, however it may be different if you are at a higher altitude.
