Today I made strawberry jam for the first time! We went over to Mike and Michelle's and helped pick strawberries and they gave us some to take home.
It was super easy and soooo good! Basically put 1 quart strawberries into a pot and add water until its about 1/2 way up the berries. This is very scientific, no? Then add 2 cups sugar and bring to a simmer, mashing the berries throughout this time.
Once you are simmering, add 1 package fruit pectin and stir until dissolved. Heat a few more minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes, then poor into jars/freezer containers/whatever you have to put it in!
Yum!
