If you don't have strawberry jello you could use a different flavor, such as raspberry or cherry. The jello helps thicken the jam but you could leave it out if you prefer. If you leave it out you will probably want to boil it longer to thicken the jam. While boiling the jam, test it to see if it is sweet enough for your taste. If not, add a little more sugar. You may also want to add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to brighten the jam.
