in a jam

Oh I was SO very proud of myself yesterday. SO proud. I made strawberry freezer jam all-by-myself. Yessirree. Read proud. Look how pretty it turned out!

THEN I tasted the jam.

So, it wasn't BAD. In fact, it was hard to put my finger on it. Almost ... sour patch kid. I don't know quite what went wrong, but my final verdict is that it tastes like really really REALLY sweet strawberry jello. yikes. Perhaps a little more research on method and another try will do the trick! In the meantime...dessert jam?
