THE BERRIES HAD COOKED VERY SLOW
THEY WERE ALMOST READY TO CAN,
THICK AND TASTY AND ALWAYS WERE DELICIOUS
THESE STRAWBERRIES WOULD SOON BE JARS OF JAM.

Sweet and sticky, most people today lump strawberry jam and strawberry preserves together, thinking that they are the same thing. Well, almost, but not quite.
Jams use mashed up fruit, while preserves use whole or large pieces of fruit. Both of them, however, are easier and more economical to make than jelly, since they are made of entire fruits instead of just the juice, and can be good either thick or runny. Both are also delectable when homemade!
