Strawberry jam is my all time favorite. Second only to peach and apricot jams. I love to toast white bread, add butter and a big glob of strawberry jam and down it with a cold glass of skim milk. Perfect treat!! xoxo

yay! you did it! i bet you are going to love having it in the freezer throughout the year.

Wonderful! I made jars of jam with my Mom and I always loved to check to see if it was ready with the "Spoon" test - of holding it up and seeing the two sides dripping down off the spoon...and then tasting it on fresh bread! Will these be gifts?
