Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces strawberries fresh (washed, hulled and dried)
  • 4 ounces jam sugar
  • 1 lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Wash the fresh strawberries, removing the green stem and dry them. If the strawberries are large, I suggest to cut them in half.
  • Put the strawberries and lemon juice into a large pan. Heat for some minutes to soften, adding the sugar slowly. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Once the liquid is clear, boil steadily for about 5 minutes, or until the jam changes from liquid to semi-liquid.
  • Cool for around 10 minutes.
  • Spoon into sterilised jars, and seal with wax paper and a lid.

Notes

To sterilise jars, simply wash in the dishwasher and pot the jam while they are still warm. Sterilise the lids by adding to a large pot of boiling water  for 10 minutes. Allow to air dry.
