Found a bargain today! Two 450g packages of beautiful strawberries for $4.00Cdn, a great treat on this very cold winter day in Canada! I used 2 cups of berries and 2 cups of sugar and the lemon juice to make a couple of jars of a delicious jam! So quick and easy to make and not too sweet with the addition of lemon juice. Nice recipe Tisme!
