Thanks Amanda for the jam tutorial. I tried it without pectin. Cooked it to 221 F. After cooling the jam consistency was like a watery gelatin. I was disappointed but it did not go to waste,lol. I made strawberry margheritas with it and it was delicious. The problem certainly wasn't your recipe I just needed pectin. I did some reading on strawberries and they are low in pectin and I notice you added pectin to your jam in the video and said it was optional. I don't think pectin is optional as I found out. I cannot wait to make it again it was a simple and effortless recipe and the flavor was on point. Thanks again for the tutorial. Cheers!
