    This was a simple recipe, that produced very good results. My jelly wasn't quite as think as i'd like, but i don't think i used a wide enough pot for it. I also used more berries than were called for, and upped the apple a bit. All around a great recipe.

    I made this today and it is fantastic! I will never buy jam in the store ever again!

    I think i only used 2 pints of strawberries.. I reduced the sugar to a little less than a cup. Didnt have gran marinier, so I used water..... Cooked it the exact amount of time that Ina suggests, and I didnt bother skimming any foam off.. The taste is fresh, and delicious! The blueberries add depth to the color. I think I am going to try this with other fruits and give it as small gifts at christmas. Thanks for another great recipe Ina!!!!!

    This looks like a great recipe but there is one major problem here--the foam does not need to be thrown away. When I was growing up, our favorite part of our Mom's many jam and jelly projects was to be able to spread the foam she set aside in a bowl on slices of fresh homemade bread--what a wonderful fresh treat. Sure, it isn't as attractive as the finished jam, but the flavor is at least as good, especially when eaten as a special treat while the house still carries the lovely fragrance of freshly made preserves. While we rarely allowed the foam to last past that first tasting, it will keep in the refrigerator for at least a few days if necessary.

    OMG -- Loved it! So very easy to make. I also decreased the sugar. I put in less that 1/2 cup and it was just the right sweetness. I didn't use a thermometer and cooked the jam for about 20 mins.

    Strawberry jam doesn't get any better than this! With locally grown strawberries and blueberries in season right now, I will definitely put away several batches to give my special friends over the holidays. Gorgeous color, intense flavor. Thank you, Ina.

    Make this jam!!! That's all I have to say! Absolutely delicous with fresh strawberry flavor. I didn't use a candy thermometer, I just cooked for the length of time Ina says. It will be a staple every year for me.

    I agree with the review below, this is the best strawberry jam i've ever tasted. It's so easy too - virtually fool proof. Definitely reduce the sugar (i used 2c if you have very ripe strawberries, which i did. And if it's still too sugary for you just add more green apple. My husband can't get enough of it and he's not a sweets/jam person. DEFINITELY a keeper. Great for use as hostess gift as well. Perfect!

    I cannot praise this recipe much more than previous reviews have. The ease of making, the beautiful aroma in my kitchen, the deep color and perfect texture are only overcome by the sublime taste of this jam. This is my go-to recipe for jam. I did increase the blue berries to 1-1/2 cups and used the whole apple. I grated 1/2 of an orange to enhance the Grand Marnier. I am excited to try other combinations of fruits. This recipe reminds me of my Grandma who used to boil her jams like this. I do not remember her ever using pectin; nor have I ever been able to duplicate the taste of her jams???until now. WOW!

    It was a spur of the moment desire, based on a lot of strawberries that promteded me to look for a jam recipe-never having made any before. I had the ingredients, I had the time and now I'm sitting with an english muffin topped by my very own strawberry "preserves". No problem with storage, it won't last much longer than two weeks.
