Strawberry Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 pints strawberries, washed, hulled, halved
2 None lemons, juiced
5 cups sugar
2 tbsp citrus pectin

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine strawberries and lemon juice. Add 3 3/4 cups sugar. Set aside to marinate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Whisk together remaining sugar and pectin.
Transfer strawberry mixture to a large non-reactive pot. Add 1/2 cup water and stir to combine. Sprinkle pectin sugar over mixture and continue stirring until completely incorporated. Bring to a slow boil and cook for 20-25 mins, stirring occasionally and skimming toward the end of cooking time to remove any impurities, until fruit collapses and jam reaches gelling point.
