Step 1

Cut the strawberries into chunks and place them in a pot with 1 1/2 cups sugar and the lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low heat.

Step 2

Simmer for about 1 hour on low heat. Stir once in a while.

Step 3

Half way thru, mash the mixture with a masher. I love to find chunks of fruit in my jam.

Step 4

Dribble some of the jam onto a wooden spoon and wait a few seconds for it to cool. Run your finger through the jam. If it makes a clear path through the jam and doesn’t fill in, then the jam in ready.

Step 5

Move the jam from the heat and transfer to a clean jar. Cover and cool completely before moving the jam to the fridge for long-term storage.

Step 6

Enjoy and Bon Profit!
