Red red strawberry jam

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 quart Perfect strawberries
4 cups Sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon, opt'l

Directions

Wash, dry and stem the berries. Put them in a 10" deep heavy pot, cutting a few berries to release some juice. Cover them with the sugar. Stir the mixture very gently with a wooden spoon over low heat until it has "juiced up". Then raise heat to med and stop stirring.

As soon as it bubbles up, time for 15 min. and cook without stirring.

After 15 min remove from heat and allow to cool uncovered. Sprinkle surface with lemon juice if you wish. When cool, stir lightly and put into sterilized jars. Submitted By JIM WELLER On 04-09-95
