Strawberry Jam


My grannie makes the best strawberry jam. After chatting with her the other day, I decided I would make my own. Pretty delicious. Basically, cook strawberries that have been cut in half over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add sugar if you want, I added about 3/4 a cup for 3 or 4 pints of strawberries, but next time will do sugar-free. After the frut softens, add half an apple grated, or cut small, for the pectin, and a half cup of blueberries if you have them. Keep stirring. Done in about 40 minutes. Can't top eating it.
