I bought strawberries in bulk because strawberry season has come!! I have been making strawberry jam every year at my parent's house, and so I posted the jam recipe here.

Don't cook the strawberries too long, otherwise the jam won't keep the bright colour. Recipe by papann

Steps

1

Preparation Sterilize jars to store the jam, a strainer to drain the moisture, and tongs to use while you are making the jam. Rest them in a strainer.
2

Pour salt water in a bowl and immerse the strawberries. Rinse the strawberries under the water to remove any excess dirt. Take them out of the water and remove the stems.
3

Weigh the strawberries. Put the sugar equivalent to 40% of the strawberries in a bowl. Put strawberries in a pan, and add some sugar. Then add more strawberries and repeat.This will help coat the strawberries with sugar evenly.
4

Rest for a 2 or 3 hours to a half day. Moisture will come out from the strawberries. You can make the jam even if you skip this step.
5

Cook over medium to high heat. More and more moisture and scum will be released. Remove the scum carefully.
6

Don't stir until the jam has thickened. When 70 - 80% of the moisture is gone, squash the strawberries.
7

Steps 6 and 7 are optional. For those of you who prefer leaving the strawberries whole, you don't need those steps.
8

Turn off the heat. Squeeze on some lemon and stir. Cool down a bit, and pour into the jar. It's done!!
