Just a Little Bit of Homemade Strawberry Jam

• 34 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and cut in slices
• 13 cup sugar
• 12 lemon, juice and zest

1. Combine the sliced strawberries and sugar in a medium pot.
2. Let sit cold for about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
3. Add the lemon juice and zest.
4. Bring to a boil, drop to a medium simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. After the first 15 minutes of cooking, mash with a potato masher and drop to a low simmer.
6. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring frequently and keeping an eye on them so they do not brown or stick.
7. I am making this sound harder than it is but cook tops vary so and I don't want you to have burned jam --.
8. Remove from heat and let cool for about 20 minutes.
9. Put in a little jar and continue to cool until room temperature.
10. Place in the fridge overnight to let it set up.
11. I'm not an expert but I do feel safe saying it keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge.
12. Enjoy!
