We have freezer strawberry jam that we are traveling with - 206 four ounce jars. They are currently frozen. We are leaving Tuesday and we are giving them away on Saturday. Can we just keep them in a cooler until we give them out or do we need to keep them cool?

They'll be fine if you fill in the cooler with as much ice as will fit. However, you'll need to keep the ice level constant, which means draining off excess water (some coolers have a spigot at the bottom for this) and adding more ice as needed. Given the time of year, you'll probably have to do this every other day. Don't open the cooler more than once a day to check on your jam, as the more it's opened the faster the ice will melt. If you have room, fill an empty 2 liter soda bottle or half gallon milk jug with water and freeze it, it will melt much more slowly than loose ice will and will slow it's melting.
if you put newspaper between them and pack well with it you will have frozen jam when you arrive
