this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

I  found a great deal on strawberries so I couldn't resist picking up a bunch.  I sent The Tall One to get them and he really couldn't resist and bought two flats instead of just one. What is one to do with so many strawberries?

We made some freezer jam - which sounds a lot harder than it is.  Simply purchase a box of pectin at the grocery store (you'll find it near the canning supplies, like the mason jars and such, which will probably be near the baking goods) and follow the directions. Just follow the directions exactly (you know measure everything correctly and such) and don't double it because for whatever reason it won't set up correctly. If you want more, you'll have to make a separate batch.  After it's all firmed up, you can refrigerate it for awhile or keep it in the freezer for um, a long time (we had last year's batch for almost a year). I filled the containers with approximately 2 cups of jam and we figure each container's worth cost between $1 and $2 - definitely cheaper than the "good stuff" at the store.
