Strawberry Jam

When I was a little girl, I thought it would be so fun to grow up and spend all day in the kitchen, canning things and kneading bread and making pies from scratch.  I wanted to go down into my little cellar and see my all my shelves of canned things.  (Maybe I read too many Amish stories.)  Well here I am, grown up with my own kitchen and without a cellar.  I have never canned anything, I've only made bread twice, and I don't really like making pies.  I usually spend my time in the kitchen making dinner or baking something simple, but I still do like the idea of making something to line the shelves of my imaginary cellar.  So on Friday I decided to make jam!  I used this recipe, and it was so easy!  It really is delicious, and I might make another batch so that we have enough to give away and to last us a while.
