Strawberry shortcake, with a yummy low-fat, low-sugar whipped topping

I wore my Grandma's strawberry-colored apron to make the jam
One of the things that's nice about freezer jam is that, since the berries aren't cooked,
they retain their bright red color! (Thanks, A and J, for the inspiration to make jam!)

You're very welcome. I won't take any credit, but I'll be happy to sample the freezer jam!
The jam looks wonderful! I haven't made any yet, I'm hoping my mom will have enough strawberries left over for me to make a batch.
I made an extra jar for you two!
Love the apron! Love the look of the jam - I bet it's great!

How does the freezer jam work? I'm not familiar with that.
Yummy pictures... and descriptions. Thanks.
This post reminded me that I cut out several recipes for freezer jam from a Southern Living issue last summer. I'll have to locate them and give it a try. Your jam looks delicious!
oh, i love making jam! and strawberry shortcake! yummy, i have been craving it! our strawberries have another month or so, but i can't wait!
Your jam looks so yummy...How special to wear your grandmas apron. I might have to try making that next year. Our strawberries are finished for this year...MISSY
hi, Crescent - I used the recipe on the back of the Sure-Jell box for the jam (and I used the less-sugar variety). It directs one to bring the sugar/water/pectin to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the berries, then put in plastic or jars (I prefer jars). So simple!
Thanks. I'll explore that. Seems fun.
The strawberries look absolutely luscious! I have one of my grandma's aprons, too - I just love wearing it when I cook.
You and Linda and Nancy have inspired me to start a tea blog of my own! No real rhyme or reason - just a fun, tea-themed blog.
Hope it's cooler up there in Bloomington than it is here in Charleston. 2:06pm and already 100 degrees - I don't EVEN want to know what the heat index is!
That looks so yummy! I love strawberry jam! :-)
