Step 1

Mash strawberries in a medium pot with a potato masher to desired consistency. I like some large pieces of strawberries and others that are completely mashed.

Step 2

Stir in lemon juice, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn heat to medium and add cornstarch mixed with cold water. Stir. Let simmer over medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring every minute.

Step 4

Remove from heat, and let preserves cool in a large bowl at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooling completely in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Once cooled, transfer preserves to mason jars or other airtight containers!
