Receipt for Strawberry Jam

a message from my mother (and hers):
8C crushed berries
6C sugar, boil till done
pour in jars & cover w/ p'fin

so cryptic I must know it already
even as I read it

when it's done
and poured & parafined
in squat clear jars
(for observation)
I feel a bond with the women
whose recipe ends with me

my legacy
clots of bright red
berries
