How to Make Strawberry Lemon Jam
- Wash and hull 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Roughly chop them into smaller pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best!), and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
- To test for doneness, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it's ready.
- Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch of headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation (optional, but recommended for long-term storage).
