This recipe has an excellent taste and the recipe my Mom had growing up in the 60's, however, jello is not good to use. Jello is made up of cow bones grounded up. That is not healthy for you and you can use other substitutes to help thicken the jam. I am trying to convert this recipe to 100% organic and healthy with the same taste so I'm going to try to substitute the jello for tapioca granules and add some fresh strawberries cut up for the strawberry flavor. Also, the only difference is my Mom's recipe had crushed pineapple in it as well, didn't see that listed. About 2 oz or 2 1/2 cups of crushed pineapple. If anyone has some ideas or suggestions, love to hear them as I'm working on converting this recipe to a healthier organic option.
