Putting Up Fresh Strawberry Jam for a Winter Treat

I was finally able to keep the kids out of the garden long enough to get strawberries for making jam.  Fresh strawberry jam is a real treat for me in the winter.   The bright red is so cheerful on those cold winter mornings.  I can sit down with my cup of tea, chai with cream,  a couple slices of hazelnut toasts slathered with jam, and a magazine.  What a great way to start the morning.

 I made 6 cups of jam to put in the freezer. 

Strawberry is the only type of jam I make for the freezer.  I cook the rest of my jams.  I just think homemade strawberry jam tastes better when I use the no cook method.   Luckily, the kids prefer blackberry jam!
