My mom makes the best strawberry jam. Bill as also raves about it - so this year I finally decided I would try to make it myself. I asked my mom for the recipe and she told me it is just the one on the Sure Jell box. Well that sounded easy enough. And turns out it was. Only 3 ingredients and now I have a bunch of delicious jam in the freezer!
