Making strawberry jam recipe:
- Take strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a pan. Turn on the heat to medium.

- All the sugar will start to melt.
- As it starts to boil, strawberries will start to release its juice.
- Let it simmer and keep stirring in between. It starts to foam up. You can remove that foam using spatula or leave it like me. It will be fine.
- Keep stirring and simmering till it gets thick and it starts leave the sides of the pan. It took me about 20 minutes.
