Some
times the first berries of the season aren't quite as sweet as they should be
...but glazin
g them in hot strawberry jam will make them as sweet as can be. Melt 1/2 cup strawberry jam in small saucepan. Dip rinsed and dried whole strawberries into the hot jam, turning the berry by the stem/leaves to coat evenly, and immediately put on a cold plate to set. When finished dipping all of the strawberries, place plate in refrigerator for 10 minutes. Serve cold. 1/2 cup of jam will dip about 2 dozen big berries. 
These berries are so shiny and pretty and the heat from the jam pulls out the natural sugar in the berry...making them irresistible!
