Not sure how much fresh strawberries cost in your neck of the woods, but where I live, they are outrageously expensive. However, one must make strawberry jam. This year, I made it without adding pectin. The mashed fruit to sugar ratio was 1:1. I added a single large lemon's worth of juice as per recommendations for making strawberry jam without CERTO. Then boil, boil, boil.
I might return to using CERTO next year.
