I don't tend to get too many strawberries these days - must be more mice and squirrels about. What I find makes an excellent jam is 1 part strawberry with 2 parts blackcurrant. I think it has a great taste. I had 400g strawberries so got 800g blackcurrants out of the freezer. cooked the strawberries and blackcurrants separately in the microwave then added all together with 1.1kg of sugar. back in microwave for about 10 minutes till temp was 104C and into jars. No need for pectin or anything else. Boiled over a bit as light is gone in microwave.
