Making Grandma's Strawberry Jam




Everyone is crazy for Grandma/Amy Ward's strawberry jam. We were lucky enough to get a few pints when Stan and Amy came out to visit.... However, our last few trips to Idaho have been through the airlines.... Therefore, we had a few unsuccessful attempts at smuggling it on the airplane(yes, we tried, it is THAT good!) Since our current supply was obsolete, and the store jam just isn't the same. We tried to fool CJ - we bought smuckers, generic, you name it brand, we even had some specialty jam that you get at those expensive WA nick nack stores, but through all our attempts, CJ kept saying "No...I want the "Red Jam" (Clay even mentioned the loss of the jam) So one fateful afternoon, Laura and CJ thought they would give making the specialty Grandma jam a try! After a few phone calls to the expert, and a little luck, we are pleased to announce that we currently have 10 pints of fabulous strawberry jam in our freezer!!! Mission accomplished - the jam lovers in the house are happy once again! Yahoo!!! Thanks for the help and little helpful tips Amy! It turned out perfect!
