Lolita–I would find a recipe specifically for each fruit you are going to make into jam as there are subtle differences in how they behave depending on the naturally occurring pectin and sugar content and texture of the fruit. Recipes like this are often called “freezer jam”, so you can put those search terms in along with your fruit while recipe hunting.
I’m in awe of your pioneer spirit. You must deservedly feel a great sense of accomplishment and independence after such a feat. I imagine there’s an interesting story behind your lifestyle. I hope you are writing it down.

this recipe sounds good but I am not really a fan of strawberrys. Will this work with other fruits as well??
I am not a suburbs dweller, I live out in the middle of an oak forest in a converted 12×30 wood storage building that I wired, insulated and sheetrocked myself, with help from my sister. I am 70 yrs old and if I can live small, anyone can. But I still have a lot to learn after having spent most of my life in cities. I really enjoy reading your information and the many comments.
