wow this sounds really good. my bf and i were just talking about how making homemade preserves is a dying art. his grandmother knew how to do it but it was never passed on to his mom. he used to love to sneak into the garage and it by the jar. thanks for this. i'm going to try my hand at it on a long weekend this summer.

This is really good and so easy to make! What I like about this one is the strawberries are always available since it uses frozen sweetened ones so you can make this one at times other than when fresh strawberries are available. Let us know how you like it.
