Strawberry Jam

The same sugar cookies with the jam a top them inspired me to make strawberry jam.  This recipe made 2 one pint jars.

2 lbs fress strawberries, hulled  (smashed equals around 4 cups)
4 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

In wide bowl, crush strawberries until you reach 4 cups (or there about) of mashed berries.  In heavy bottomed sauce pan, mix together strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.  Stir constantly over low heat until sugar is disolved.  Increase heat to high, and continue to stir; bring mixture to full rolling boil.  Boil until mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).  Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 to 1/4 inch headspace and seal.  Process in water bath.
