Sea Buckthorn Jam (& Jelly)
Sea buckthorn jam (or jelly) is a tasty tropical spread that you can grow in the north country. Seaberries have a flavor that's a cross between orange and pineapple, but they're a hardy northern fruit that can tolerate temperatures as low as -50 F (-45 C)! Preserving these tasty tropical jewels is one of the best ways to taste the tropics year-round, even if you're buried in snow.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash the sea buckthorn berries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.
sea buckthorn berries (fresh or frozen)8 cups
2
Place the berries in a large pot with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Stir frequently, mashing the berries to encourage them to fall apart and release their juices (about 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes).
water2 cups
3
Remove from heat and strain the juice through a jelly bag or double layer of dampened cheesecloth (for jelly), or through a fine mesh strainer or food mill (for jam). Both will have seeds removed, but jelly will only use juice while jam uses juice and pulp.
4
Add the strained juice (or juice and pulp) back into a jam pot.
5
Add the powdered pectin, stirring to dissolve completely.
6
Turn on the heat and bring to a boil. Boil hard for ⏱️ 1 minute.
7
Add the sugar, stirring to incorporate. Return to a boil and boil hard for 1 more minute.
