I’ve made the no-cook strawberry freezer jam for years and it’s wonderful! This year there is a new (at least to me) dry pectin that you just mix with the sugar. Tried it, and it’s ever bit as good – and you don’t go anywhere near a stove! My now 30 y/o son STILL starts bugging me about making it the first sign of spring!
Thanks so much for sharing that cheri!
