- 1 cup sugar
- large lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 – quart strawberries, rinsed and cut into small pieces.
Combine the sugar, lemon zest, and juice in a saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add strawberries and simmer over medium-low heat until the mixture reaches a slow boil. Keep stirring until it cooks down to jam consistency, it will thicken a bit when cooling. Cool in glass jars, refrigerate, and enjoy!
