How to cook:

Remove stem and leaves if there’s any in strawberries and clean them well.

Chop cleaned strawberries into fine size pieces.

Once sugar dissolves, add lemon juice and boil more about 5 mins until strawberries softness while stirring occasionally.

Mash boiled strawberries in a food processor or by using the spoon.

Boil the jam mixture more under medium heat while stirring until it reaches desired consistency.

When the mixture thickens and feel the hardness to the spoon, get a drop of jam and put it on a plate. When you turn the plate if the jam drop is not runny like water our jam has come to the right consistency.

Once the jam is ready, turn off the flame and let it cool about 5 mins.

After that, pour the jam into sterilized bottles, tighten the lid, cover the jam bottle with a kitchen towel and place it in a dark place about 24 hours. This allows the jam to cool slowly and set nicely.
