Not love in a jar, but close
A while back I wrote of homemade apricot jam that it really is love in a jar.
Fresh, homemade strawberry jam made with the best, freshest strawberries of the spring qualifies as, if not love in a jar, at least joy in a jar.
I’d write more, but this is really just an initial test to see if I can make a flickr image link work.
apricot jam really is the best thing in my life.

I think strawberry jam is love in a jar *and* joy in a jar. Looking at this picture makes me want to cry from sheer happiness.

One lady called,in tears, because her 40 pints of jam failed to set, and she was sure it was the product, not over-yeasted berries. Her trauma was real, poor thing!
I’m a fan of the freezer jams. They don’t last as long, but they are so easy to make and put in fresh, disposable Glad containers.

Feeling so strawberryish, as I am, I would LOVE to have a recipe for strawberry jam.
