Tips:
- Choose the right strawberries: Use ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
- Prepare your strawberries: Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters. This will help them cook evenly and release their juices.
- Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to hold all of the strawberries and sugar. A Dutch oven or stockpot is a good choice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil: Bring the strawberries and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce the heat and simmer: Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the jam has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking.
- Test the jam for doneness: To test the jam for doneness, place a small spoonful of it on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready. If it is still too runny, continue to simmer for a few more minutes.
- Transfer the jam to jars: Once the jam is done, transfer it to clean, sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator or pantry.

Strawberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, waffles, or pancakes, or used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other pastries.
