Strawberry Jam
Strawberries are abundant everywhere right now. Iovine Brothers at Reading Terminal Market here in Philly has them this weekend for 99 cents a pound. Beth loves 'em so I figured the time had come to start the canning season.
The recipe here is from the brochure that comes inside the Sure-Jell package. You will notice it calls for 5 cups of mashed strawberries. That worked out to a little under 2 1/2 pounds of whole fruit. You will also notice it calls for 7 cups of sugar. That is almost a full 5 pound bag. So chances are you'll want to grab a bag of sugar when you pick up the berries and Sure-Jell.
