Strawberry Jam

I really like strawberries. Growing up on the Ohio farm, my Mom had a large strawberry patch. We'd have strawberry shortcake til it came out our ears. She froze them and made jam. She also sold them to make a little money she set aside to buy things like a dishwasher and microwave. In March of this year when I went for a visit, she said strawberry jam was her favorite. Since it is strawberry season in California, I decided to head to our local growers get some and make jam. I plan to take her a jar next time I visit. I adapted a recipe from David Lebovitz.
