I screwed up all of my attempts to make jelly this weekend so I improvised with chia seeds for a thickening agent. In the end my recipe most closely followed this but I used 4 # of strawberries, 6 cups of sugar (which can totally be reduced but since i was attempting "real" jam first this is the point when I ran out of sugar) and added a cup of chia seeds after the simmer, let the "goo" cool on the stove and than put it in the fridge. Tastes delicious, lots of fiber, protein and yumminess!
