Interesting that you have made and called the preserve Jam, most of American call it Jelly which to me is what is used for trifle. It is only the 2nd time that I have heard an American calling something the same way it is called in the United Kingdom.

@celtpro Here in the states jam and jelly are two different things. Jam has bits of fruit pulp in it and jelly has the fruit pulp strained out of it. At least that's how I understand it. Do you (in UK) make a differentiation between the 2, or is it all called jam?

Thank you! The recipes for jam are almost always for a dozen jars or more when I just want to make 1 or 2. I used commercial pectin (the low sugar formula) and this came out perfect.

@liarsclub75 that's why I like this one so much too - doesn't take too many berries to make a couple of jars…perfect!

did you use pectin?

[cookingupastory]

@jammy123ism Marge used lemon instead of commercial pectin. Strawberries are low in pectin and the lemon (or citrus) will help them gel.

@Chexpeare  Strawberries are low in pectin and the lemon (or citrus) will help them gel. You could used commercial pectin, just follow directions for correct amount. Hope this works for you!

Haha, :3 you're quite the card aren't you? I might not be an adult but I don't need permission to watch an instructional video on how to make jam. Why exactly did you delete your other comment before you posted this one?
