Finally a great easy and not too sweet fresh tasting strawberry jam without pectin and all the other stuff that goes with making an all too sugary jam. It turned out perfect without any adjustments. I will definitely make again and just maybe seal some for gifts. I will definitely try next time with less sugar as suggested by Boomette.

I used half the amount of sugar and cooked it down a lot longer. It smelled wonderful. My DS loved it (I'm allergic, so cannot attest to how it tastes). He said I should make a WHOLE lot of jars of it for our house! Thanks for sharing, we'll be making this one again. It's perfect for when the strawberries don't look so pretty to eat but are not too far past their prime.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
