Prep the Strawberries Wash and hull the strawberries. Chop them into small pieces and mash lightly with a fork or potato masher for a chunky texture.
Cook the Mixture Add strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a heavy-bottomed pan. Stir on medium heat until sugar dissolves.
Simmer Until Thick Let it cook on low-medium heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring often. The mixture will bubble and slowly thicken. Mash more if you want smoother jam.
Test the Jam To check if it’s done, drop a bit on a cold plate if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready. If not, cook a little longer.
Cool and Store Let it cool, then pour into a sterilized glass jar. Seal and refrigerate. Use within 3–4 weeks.
