  1. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and drain them.
  2. Spread the sugar and lemon juice over the strawberries in a pot.
  3. Place the pot over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  4. When they begin to boil, start mashing the strawberries with a fork... place a few berries on a spoon, hold it over the pot, mash them, and return them to the pot... continue until you have mashed as many berries as you can or all of them.
  5. Let the jam simmer over low heat for about half an hour or until it reaches the thickness you like.
  6. Pour the jam into clean, sterilized jars, seal them immediately while hot, and turn the jars upside down until they cool.
  7. After opening a jar, store the strawberry jam in the refrigerator or keep it at room temperature.
