Ingredients

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries
  • 1.5 cups cane sugar

Instructions

  • Place the hulled strawberries in a bowl and mash with a potato masher until slightly chunky. Alternatively, you could chop the strawberries by hand or in a food processor.
  • Combine the mashed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 10-15 minutes at a low boil, stirring frequently until the jam has thickened.
  • Transfer the jam to clean glass jars, seal and let cool at room temperature.
  • When cool, refrigerate. Will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
