Step 1
In a large saucepan combine the strawberries, salt, sugar, and 1/4 of water. Cover the mixture and let it cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
While the fruit cooks down, in a small mixing bowl, combine the other 1/4 cup of water with the cornstarch. Whisk the ingredients well to create the slurry.
Step 3
After the 15 minutes has passed, fold the slurry into the cooked fruit mixture. Cover the saucepan, lower the heat to low, and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once the jam has cooked down, remove the lid (use a potato masher to mash the strawberries a little if you want). Let the jam cool, then serve over biscuits, pancakes, or toasted bread.
