So, dd and I went strawberry picking this morning and got 12 L of strawberries! This was a first for me (and lots of fun bending over my burgeoning belly let me tell you) and now I am all psyched to make jam -- only I haven't got a clue.

Do I have to buy any special equipment (I'd really rather not!) other than jars and lids? What do I need to do? I took a peek in my BH & G cookbook and it says I need equipment, a pot with a wire rack in it? I don't have one of those.

I know it is easier to make freezer jam, and I will do that if I have to, but I would rather do the real thing and be able to give it as gifts and store on my shelves rather than the freezer.

Give me detailed instructions please! Teach me!
