Fresh Strawberry Jam-Grandma’s Best

strawberrysignpoleFresh Strawberry Jam–Grandma’s Best

8 cups fresh strawberries-washed hulled and crushed

2 teaspoons lemon juice

6  cups sugar

In a large heavy pot, slowly mix berries with sugar and lemon juice and stir over hot burner until sugar is dissolved

Boil rapidly for about 40 minutes until mixture is thick.

As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking and scorching.

Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch at top. Adjust caps and process 15 minutes in boiling water bath.  Yield about 4 pints.

This is gooddddddd.

My grandma and mom sometimes made this jam with pectin–go by the recipes on the pectin package if you want to make it that way.  Make sure to watch the jam carefully so it won’t burn.
