I have a recipie from my microwave classes on strawberry jam the easy way. It is a small-batch process, and the one or two small jars of jam must be kept in the refrigerator. They are ok for 2-3 weeks. You eat that much up then, anyway.
The thing I learned to do is buy strawberries when they are at their peak. You go ahead and blend them, as if you were going to make jam. Then you fill freezer bags, and lay them out flat in your freezer. When they are frozen hard, you can stack up the bags. The deal is to make each bag the amount you would need to make one of these small-batch recipies. You just thaw the berries, add the pectin and sugar, and proceed as if you had fresh berries. Works really well.
I'll get the recipie to you tomorrow pm. Phoenixsinger is to go into the General for solumedrol etc. after a TIA last week, and I'll have your nephew for about 3-4 days. Typing will occur as he naps!
