Method
- In a heavy based saucepan crush the strawberries with a potato masher.
- Add sugar and lemon juice.
- Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
- Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 105 C.
- Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1cm headspace, and seal.
- Process any unsealed jars in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.
