Homemade Strawberry Jam

1. Sterilize your mason jar in boiling water and dry completely. Set aside. (You’ll need a jar large enough to hold roughly two cups.)
2. Place strawberries, sugar, honey and lemon juice in a medium to large saucepan and stir until well mixed.
3. Let the strawberries sit for 10 to 15 minutes until they begin to release their juices.
4. Over medium-low heat, stir strawberries with a rubber or silicone spatula until the sugar has melted completely. (Be sure to scrape any sugar off the sides of the sides of the pot - it must be dissolved completley to prevent crystalizing.)
5. Simmer for 15 minutes while stirring frequently. Use a potato masher to gently mash the berries as they cook (I do this sparingly as I like a jam with more texture)
6. Bring your mixture to a full boil, and boil until it reaches 220 F. Make sure to stir often to prevent burning.
7. Remove from the heat and pour into your prepared jar, leaving a little space at the top.
8. Place the lid on immediately and allow to cool until room temperature.
9. Refrigerate until firm and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
