(originally made 6/2011)
Jake and I strawberry picked last week and I finally unearthed all my canning supplies and found time yesterday to make this jam. It is super simple and I made no changes except to process the filled jars for 10 mins. I got 8 nice full 8oz jars :) Thanks so much Janra for sharing this recipe with me, it will definitely be made again and again!

Boil jars on rack in large pot filled with water 10 minutes. Place flat lids in saucepan with water. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to fill. Drain well before filling.
