In reply to Toni. Hi Toni- That's a great question, actually! It's 4 cups of mashed strawberries. :)

Rebecca, HELP! I’ve never made any kind of jam etc in my life. This may be a stupid question but… Is this 4 cups of strawberries, mashed? Or 4 cups of mashed strawberries? Big difference!

In reply to Sereima Tuiketei. Hey there, Sereima! You can mail order this particular pectin! Or if you have a health food store nearby, you can usually find Pomona's Universal Pectin there. I've even ordered it from Amazon!

In reply to TATA. That's a bummer! I would've gone back in with more Pomona's and tried thickening it up some more. If I had a whole batch of Michigan strawberries, I would cry if they didn't gel!

Interesting that Pomona’s pectin works for you. I used it a couple of years ago with Michigan strawberries and it absolute would not gel. What a disappointment and a waste of gorgeous berries and mMY “thyme”.

In reply to Carol. Thank you so much, Carol! And thank you, too, for the excellent review! This is by far my favourite freezer jam recipe.

This was a sensational recipe! I used it with the strawberries we just picked and wow! You can’t taste the balsamic and thyme by themselves but it makes the strawberry flavor pop. I used just 1.5 cups of sugar and I think next time I’ll cut that down by half a cup. It really doesn’t need much sugar at all. I love that about this recipe. And I’m a Pomona’s convert now too. Thanks!

In reply to Joan Thompson. I don't think it would be overkill but I'd be loathe to part with something so delicious sounding! :D

I have a lovely Strawberry Balsamic from EVOO in Denver. It’s been drizzled over fresh stawberries (they even perk up the hard, flavorless California variety) or used to make the dressing for a spinach strawberry salad. Would it be over kill?
