The second sweet reward

From this,


to a pot...


What is it?


Delicious Strawberry Jam!


No need to pick up a jar from the grocery store :)




Here is a quick recipe from allrecipes.com :

Ingredients

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

Directions:
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). Using a potato masher, crush the strawberries. Careful with the mixture, it is hot. Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace, and seal. Process in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.
