This is my favorite jam recipe--it yields a very pure, fruity, taste. It's so easy, and even though it's cooked, you don't need to worry about the whole canning process. I've tried it with blueberries, too, with great results.
Fresh Strawberry Jam
4 c halved strawberries
1 c sugar
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Combine strawberries and sugar in saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 1 hour or until thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature.
Makes 2 cups.
Store in a plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. I've also frozen for several months.
