Strawberry Jam

Every spring into her last years, our Mom insisted we go to the pick-your-own strawberries place so she could make her next year's worth of jam. The huge, wooden, tasteless commercial ones would never do. Now too busy at that time of year with fruitcake preparations to do it myself, it's been some time since I made it, but a kindly neighbor and her kids now pick them for me - from field to jar in one day! A vivid matrix of pale rose jelly with translucent chunks of the finest fruit - Strawberry Jam supreme!! No matter how exotic my roster, this remains an all-time favorite, and I hope my increased supply will last a bit longer this year.

Ingredients: strawberries, cane sugar, pectin.
8 oz.
