War of the Strawberries

I am testing two different recipes for preserves this year. #1 is the traditional preserves, using pectin. #2 uses only strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. It is cooked longer, and there must be several strawberries with green tips, as these have more natural pectin. I am a bit leery about not using pectin, but figure it's worth a try, and I made a small batch. If it's not good preserves, it will be good strawberry sauce over ice cream!
