I make jams, jellies and preserves all the time since I live on a farm and have fruit trees and live in a country where fruits are available all year round. This is the first time that I have had a strawberry jam turn out quite as it was supposed to. The taste is fantastic. I modified the recipe as I and my husband prefer whole fruits or chunky jams. The cooking time takes a little longer as I am also very near the coast. I have added a picture of the canned goods. My husband actually tasted the pot after it was bottled in the jars, and his immediate reaction was, HMMMMMMMM!! That is a plus all by itself. I must admit the last time I attempted Strawberry jam was when we had picked so many from the garden and I made an attempt at jam, which was a total failure. I burned it and then tried to eat it anyway, but oh my goodness, it was awful and so I ended up chucking it out. Cried for weeks. Thanks for this super recipe and now I have no excuses for not preparing it properly.
