Strawberry Jam

1. 1

   Assemble all the ingredients.

2. 2

   In a wide bowl, crush strawberries in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed strawberries.

3. 3

   In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice; stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

4. 4

   Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Keep boiling, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).

5. 5

   After 10 to 15 minutes, test for doneness by placing a small spoonful of jam on a frozen plate. Let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes; if the jam looks gelled, it is ready. If it seems thin and runny, continue cooking.

6. 6

   Ladle the jam into hot, sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Place lids on and screw the rings on tightly.

7. 7

   Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the jars into the boiling water with a holder, spacing them 2 inches apart.

8. 8

   Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Return to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Lift the jars out of the stockpot and let them sit, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark place.
