Directions
Step 1
Place the strawberries in a large pot and crush them using a potato masher.

Add the sugar and lemon juice to the pot and stir to combine.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches the desired consistency.

Remove the pot from heat and let the jam cool slightly.
