Directions
Pick strawberries over carefully and wash, removing stems, hulls, and debris. Place berries in an enamel or stainless steel pot. Crush well with a masher or spoon, and simmer over moderate heat until berries soften.
Measure strawberry pulp. For every cup of pulp, add ½ to ¾ cup of sugar, depending on desired sweetness. Return berries and sugar to a boil over moderately high heat and continue to boil until the temperature of the jam reaches 221 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Keep an eye on the boiling jam and stir frequently.
When jam is ready, carefully ladle into sterilized jars, seal, and process
according to jar manufacturer's instructions.
Yield: 6 cups finished jam
