We be jammin'!

Measure the sugar,
Mix berries & sugar for 10 min & add pectin,

Pour into containers, and you get. . . . . .

44 containers of Strawberry Jam!
We used 18lbs berries, about 14lbs sugar (lost count), 8 boxes of pectin, and all the containers I could possibly find. Had to make a trip to the Dollar Tree today and they had the perfect size containers, can't beat a six pack of containers for a buck! We still have 5 cups mashed berries left so tomorrow I attempt cooked jam. This way I can use Grandma Plock's canning jars (and I'm all out of plastic). I'm sure mine won't be as good as hers, but I can't wait to use her jars!
