Strawberry Jam

I knew I had to hurry and get strawberries when we were on our last jar of jam last week! My kids love PB&J and we go through a lot of freezer jam. Since the weather has been so hot and humid, and the strawberry crops have been spotty, I decided to skip the picking and just buy several quarts from a local Amish stand. We are set for another year of homemade strawberry freezer jam. yay! :)
