Strawberry Jam

Directions

1. 1
   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.
2. 2
   Whisk together remaining sugar and pectin.
3. 3
   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.
