Homemade Strawberry Jam

Ingredients

1 lb Fresh Strawberries, washed
1¼ cups granulated sugar
1-2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Sterilize mason jars in boiling water and dry completely. Set aside.

Hull and remove tops from the strawberries and dice. Place strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a pot or deep saucepan. Stir to coat strawberries in sugar and let sit for about 10-15 minutes until they begin to release their juices.

Turn the heat to medium-low and stir with a rubber spatula until the sugar has melted completely. Simmer for 10-15 minutes while mashing the strawberries with a potato masher as they soften. Add diced lavender herbs or any other different flavorings or citrus zests if desired.

Bring mixture to a full boil until the mixture reaches 220 F. Stir constantly.

Remove from heat. Pour into prepared jar, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the lid on immediately and allow to cool until room temperature. Refrigerate until firm and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
