  1. The strawberry margarita smell eminating from my kitchen was divine! I can't wait to indulge! Very easy recipe to make...very pretty in canning jars. Yes! A great hostess/Christmas gift idea!
     
  2. VERY sweet. Fun idea for a jam flavor and I think it'll make terrific hostess gifts this Christmas. Thanks for posting the recipe.
     
  3. Oh this was delicious! Just finished making a batch and if what I got to lick off the spoon is any indication this jam will not last long. I am always on the look out for unique jams and nooone I have talked to have ever heard of this kind! Thanks for making me look so good.<br/>July 2011: I have made this several times now but have always used chamborg instead of the strawberry schnapps because I didn't want to buy a big bottle for two teaspoons. Always works great. This time I tried replacing the strawberries with raspberries and what a yummy success!!!!! Thanks again.
     
  4. I made this a while back and canned it. It's a great tasting preserves. I really love the flavors. Thanks so much for sharing!
     
  5. Yes sweet, but it was wonderful. I added a little extra tequila for a stronger margarita flavor. Excellent on bagles with cream cheese. Tones down the sweetness a bit. Next time I will use a little less sugar.
