Before my daughter L went back to school, she brought us some homemade strawberry jam she had helped her boyfriend's mom make. It's yummy! It's that preserving time of year. I've never made jam for preserving, L says it's easy...but I am worried I may not sterilize properly.

I haven't had strawberry jam in ages. I usually buy apricot preserves, which is also yummy.
Looks yummy. I love making jams and marmalade, but was not able to do any this year. Enjoy! Valerie
My mother used to make guava jam. I've made strawberry preserves that you freeze, but ended up never eating it.
Oh yum, nothing like homemade jams, lucky you :)
Yummy! Homemade jams are the best!
go for it Christine, you'll do fine, besides with the high amount of sugar in jam, its safe, if you're worried do freezer jam, Certo has the recipe on the package, but really cooked jam is very easy,
I've never persevered anything
I'd second (or third?) the freezer jam idea.
This is my absolute favorite flavor of jam! Love it on toast :)
I love to make strawberry jam is absolutely delicious!
Dint worry about you dont sterelized so much, only sabe them in fridge, normally I make in summer and I have jam almost all Winter!If you want jam more thick I add 1 chopped Apple to strawberries anyway have pectibe that is so good for jams!xo
I will try freezer jam one of these days Laurie, thanks for the tip!
We've never preserved anything at home but it would be fun to make our own jams.
For the first EVER, I preserved lots of things this year. I have made notes on what to do next year:
strawberry jam (our strawberries come in during early spring)
apricot jam
blackberry syrup
peach jam
tomato/chile sauce
I did some pickles and some nectarine jelly. Not all that good for the work it involved.
The jam looks delicious. I've never made it myself either, but I have enjoyed the fruits (so to speak) of other's labor...
