STRAWBERRY JAM 6 lb. strawberries 6 lb. sugar juice of 6 lemons Remove the stalks and hulls from the fruit and wash if necessary. Drain well. Put the fruit into greased pan with the heated sugar and lemon juice. Heat slowly until the sugar has completely dissolved and then boil steadily for about half an hour, stirring frequently. Test and pot. Note: This is the only jam that can cause any real problem because strawberries are low in pectin, the ingredient essential for good setting so it is essential to use sound fruit. Overripe berries will not produce jam that can be stored for any considerable time.
