Strawberry Jam Recipe

In a wide bowl crush strawberries in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed berry. In a heavy bottomed saucepan mix together the strawberries 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 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). Transfer to hot sterile jars leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace and seal. Process in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away don't bother with processing and just refrigerate.
