" I thought this recipe was my grandma's. After she passed I asked my Mom for the recipe and she told me it was on the Sure Jell box. This jam taste like eating fresh picked strawberries. You will never want anything else. One suggestion for the runny or separtation issues. Stir pectin/strawberries for an extra couple of minutes. I wonder if Sure Jell paid grandma for her recipe:)"
