Halfway through this winter, we were disappointed when we ran out of homemade strawberry jam. Since then I've tried several different brands of store boughten jam, never finding an acceptable replacement for homemade jam. Now why does homemade strawberry jam taste so much better than the store brands? I have a feeling it has something to do with the ratio of fruit to sugar being 1:2. In my recipe for every two cups of berries, I need to add 4 cups of sugar! I'm not sure I would want to see a nutrition label posted on homemade strawberry jam...but is sure tastes good.
Since I'm going to be a bit preoccupied during strawberry season, I was glad to find strawberries for an excellent price and excellent quality at Fareway. Off to make jam!
