Not only did it set, it turned out well. It's actually pretty good. I had
some on toast this morning and was good. It's better than some I have made in
the past using the right amount of strawberries. My biggest fear when I
figured it was now or never for strawberry jam this year was that the berries
would be pale and flavourless like they were the last time I tried it this
late in the season. I found nice read, flavourful berries and, despite my
major booboo, it is quite edible.
