Spring has finally found it’s way to Central Ohio, and before long it will be strawberry season! I love taking my girls picking at a local farm (Mitchell’s is our favorite) and every year I make Strawberry Freezer Jam. That’s a picture of our haul from last year, before I made jam.
I was probably in college before I ever ate Strawberry Jam from the store because my grandma made freezer jam every year. Once my own kids were born and peanut butter and jelly became a staple in our house, I started making my own freezer jam. I use the basic freezer jam recipe in the Sure-Jell Certo Fruit Pectin 
I was perusing Amazon this morning and found these really cute Ball Canning Jars that I am considering this year – to use for gifts for neighbors, friends and even for teacher gifts.
Ball Jar Crystal Jelly Jars with Lids and Bands, Quilted, 4-Ounce, Set of 12
These are cute too:
Loew-Cornell Ball Wide Mouth Canning Jar, 4 Per Package
Finish your strawberry jam gifts off with some pretty Baker’s Twine and a simple gift tag and you are good to go! I’m starting to feel inspired. :-)

My mom makes freezer jam and it really is delicious. I make cooked jams as I use a lot for gift giving. Any homemade jam is better than storebought!
My freezer jam is always alittle runny. Mighty tastey but more liqured then I would like.
