Ingredients
1 lb fresh strawberries
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Directions
1
Add strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to a heavy-bottomed pot and cook the mixture over a medium heat. As the fruit begins to soften, mash the fruit with a potato masher. Place 2-3 metal spoons in the freezer.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil and stir frequently. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
3
To check for doneness, dip one of the frozen spoons in the mixture. If you can drag your finger across and the jam holds its form, it is done.
4
Transfer the mixture to a 2 8-ounce mason jars and let cool. Seal and keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
