- 1 quart fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups cane sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
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.
