Strawberry Jam
Ingredients
3 lbs. fresh strawberries
3 lbs. granulate sugar

Method
Place the strawberries and the sugar in a large, stainless steel kettle. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Shake the pan to blend the ingredients, reduce the heat so the mixture simmers merrily, and continue cooking until the jam jells medium-firm, shaking the pan occasionally, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and sterilize according to jar manufacturer's instructions.

Cook's Note: You may add 1/4 cup of lemon juice to this jam, right at the end, to give it a tart edge that sets off the flavor and sweetness of the strawberries.
