Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Immersion blender optional
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 16 ounce mason jar

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Allow to sit for 30 minutes so the sugar draws out the liquid in the strawberries.
  • Over medium high heat bring the strawberries to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes or so to prevent burning.
  • Use the spoon to break up the strawberries while they cook.
  • For a smoother jam use an immersion blender
  • Allow to cool to room temperature cover and refrigerate. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
