1 lb. fresh strawberries or frozen (thawed)
Grate orange peel. Peel Remaining orange and remove orange sections, discarding seeds and any pith. Grind orange sections and half of strawberries. Crush remaining strawberries. Mix in orange peel. Pour all fruit into large saucepan. Add water. Stir contents of Sure-Jell box thoroughly. Measure 2 1/2 Tbsp. and mix into fruit. Bring to a hard boil over high heat, stirring constantly. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim off foam with metal spoon. Stir and skim 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit. Ladle into jelly glasses or small jars. Cover with one-half inch hot paraffin.
When Adam was a baby, I accumulated a lot of baby food jars and in the days before recycling, it seemed a waste to throw them away. So I started making jam. Pretty soon, it became a major production, and I had cases of baby food jars filled with jams and jellies. I took Adam and the jams and jellies to Market Day at the Junior Museum (I think it was the second one--it was still held at the museum), and sold them for fifty cents a jar or three for a dollar. My favorite was this Strawberry Orange jam.
