strawberry jam

yes, I am making my own jam. i am a jam hermit this week.

ingredients
* 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled
* 4 cups white sugar
* 1/4 cup lemon/lime juice

directions
1) crush the berries into 4 cups of berry pulp- you can use a blender
2) in saucepan, mix berry pulp with sugar and juice
3) stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved
4) increase heat to high and bring to rolling boil
5) boil, stirring often, for about 15-20 minutes
6) transfer to jars, add the lid, and put in cold water to seal
7) eat right away! i have no idea how to process jam, so this is not a save-for-the-apocalypse recipe
enjoy!
