Diva's Stawberry Jam

Diva’s Memories of Recipes Momma's Strawberry Jam
Inspiration:  I have been canning my own goods for the past 30 years.  This jam is always a request for me to make.
Ingredients: 2 Qts, hulled & crushed Strawberries (10 cups whole) 2 TB lemon juice 6 cups sugar	Instructions: Put Strawberries in an 8qt stock pot.  Add lemon juice and sugar and bring to a slow boil; stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.  Cook rapidly to the jell pint or until thick. Approx 25-30 minutes.  Stir frequently to prevent sticking.  Remove from heat and skim with a metal spoon to remove foam.  Quickly ladle into clean hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch for headspace and seal. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Variation: Yields 4 pints Sometimes I make half strawberries & half rhubarb
