🥘Ingredients

For the Jam

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

👨‍🍳Directions

1Place the halved strawberries in a large heavy-bottomed pot.
2Add the sugar and lemon juice, then stir gently to combine.
3Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the strawberries release their juices.
4Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
5Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue boiling for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
6The jam is ready when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, and a small amount on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed.
7Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool for 5 minutes.
8Skim off any foam from the surface with a spoon.
9Ladle the hot jam into clean mason jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, and seal tightly.
10Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
