This is a treat that our friend Teddy shared with us about 30 years ago in Northern California. It takes less than 10 minutes to make. I haven’t tried to convert it to a more health-conscious recipe because I like the taste of Teddy’s original recipe, sugar and all.
For a more health-conscious recipe, you might try substituting a basket of fresh Goleta strawberries for the frozen strawberries, honey for the sugar and instead of buying Certo, make your own pectin.

You will need five one-pint jars for canning.
