Recipe View 1 mins Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.

Use high-quality, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and color.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, but remember that sugar acts as a preservative, so reducing it significantly may affect the jam's shelf life.
Sterilizing the jars and lids is crucial for preventing spoilage. You can sterilize them by boiling them in water for 10 minutes, or by running them through a hot dishwasher cycle.
Be sure to leave the correct amount of headspace (1/4 inch) in each jar to allow for expansion during processing.
Processing time may need to be adjusted based on your altitude. Consult a canning guide for specific recommendations.
If you don't have orange liqueur, you can substitute it with an equal amount of orange juice or water, but the liqueur adds a unique depth of flavor.
Use a candy thermometer to check the jam temperature. It should reach 220°F (104°C) for proper setting. If you don't have a thermometer, use the "sheet test": Place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
