Strawberry Jam

Today marked the beginning of strawberry season. I celebrated by picking five quarts and making a batch of jam.

I used the new Ball pectin and it's unclear if it's worked. The jam still seems runny, so it might be re-appropriated as strawberry topping.

I love hulling strawberries. I find it oddly soothing. And the smell of strawberry jam. And it's such a pretty color.
