Prepare
  1. For every three pints of berries processed through the Roma food strainer you'll get roughly 4 cups of crushed berries (or one pint / two half pint jars)
  2. Process handpicked berries using a roma food strainer to separate seeds from juice. Do not reprocess seeds as the seed volume may cause damage to the food strainer. If you're short coming up with four cups of berry juice, 1/2 cup of water may be added to processed seeds so they may be safely ran through the food strainer again to extract liquid.
  3. Wash jars and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse with warm water. Drain well before filling.
  4. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan turn off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use.
