This is such a simple recipe that my seven year old could make it!(with help from me at points of course!) Tastes so good that my oldest couldn't tell it wasn't store bought. Will definitely kee...

This is a wonderful basic recipe for strawberry jam. It is very sweet but delicious. I will try using less sugar next time. I increased the recipe to yield 8 8oz. jars and added 2 tablespoons...
