Many Jam and Jelly recipies call for Pectin. This helps create the jell, unfortunetly buying it from local stores is more expensive than I like ( about $3 for less than two ounces.) I found a 1 pound bag that only costs $11! This is a significant savings. You can buy it here: Gel-EZ Pectin Mix

Sieve the sugar until one-half its weight is free from lumps. Place the strawberries, which should be dry and not overripe, on a dish, in layers, with the powdered part of the sugar, and allow to stand for twenty-four
hours. On the following morning put the remainder of the sugar, red currant juice and the water into a preserving pan, stir until the sugar is dissolved, bring
gently to boiling point and then simmer for thirty minutes, or until the syrup runs from the spoon in a thread.

Put in the fruit, bring slowly to boiling point, turning the fruit over gently from time to time, and boil until the syrup quickly stiffens on a cold saucer. Pour into jelly glasses and seal.
