Strawberry Jam

Step one- Pick Strawberries and remove the green leaves and stems.
Step two- Mash strawberries with a potatoes masher. Its easier if you cut them a little first.
Then put strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, a little butter to prevent foaming, and the pectin in a pot a cook according to directions in the pectin box. Then using a canning funnel put strawberry mixture in the jars. Be sure to wipe off the rim and outside of jars really good before putting the lids and rings on.
Then fill the canner with the jars and boiler for 10 minutes.
Thats it! You just made jam with me!
