Quick and Easy Strawberry Jam! :)

 
 
INGREDIENTS:
 
1 quart of fresh strawberries
3 Tbs to 1 cup sugar (your preference of sweetness)
2 tsp lemon juice
 
 
METHOD:
 
Mash berries down, adding desired amount of sugar and the lemon juice. Boil in sauce pot on medium-high heat while stirring constantly so jam doesn't stick. Cook until thick and gooey...around 20 minutes for 1 quart. Spoon into jars and refrigerate. Will keep roughly 2 weeks or freeze for 3-6 months.
 
You can also make fresh strawberry jam without cooking it but the cooking process will make the strawberry flavor more intense and the jam thicker.
 
Enjoy!  :)
