Use portion calculatorRemove stems and chop the strawberries.
Place the strawberries in a pan or pot with about ½ cup of water. If the berries have been frozen, you don’t need to add any water.
Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes until the fruit is soft.
Mash with a masher to the desired texture. Some people prefer jam with chunks of strawberries, whereas others prefer a smoother consistency.
Add sugar and lemon juice. Increase the heat and boil the jam.
Test the jam after 10 minutes and continue to test until desired set is reached.
TIP: To test to see if your jam is set, place a plate or saucer in the freezer for 5 minutes or until it is cold. Spoon a little of your hot jam onto the cold plate and then put it back into the freezer for a couple of minutes. Take the jam out of the freezer and touch it with your fingertip. If it has formed a skin that wrinkles when you push it, then it is ready. If it is still runny with no resistance, keep boiling and repeat the test in 5 minutes time.
Bottle into hot, sterile jars.
