Homemade Strawberry Jam

We had a crisis in the Hadley household about two weeks ago....we ran out of homemade strawberry jam!!! I have been anxiously watching the adds so I could find a good deal on strawberries to make more jam. So on Monday afternoon when I had to drive to Springville for a dentist appointment--and the Springville Reams just happened to be having a sale on strawberries--I felt like it was fate. Only $5.99 for a flat of strawberries!

I stayed up until 1 a.m. making jam. The last couple of times I made jam my Mom came and helped me, so I was a little bit nervous to fly solo, but it turned out great. Peace has been restored to our household once again!

Yum!

You need to email me your recipe and all your tips for making this! I haven't ever made strawberry jam, just peach and plum, but Brendan requested some just the other day. I'm going to have to start call ing you "Martha" or "Betty" soon :)
