Ingredients:

• 3 kilos of strawberries
• 3 kilos of sugar
• 1/2 a cup of lemon juice

Method:

• The strawberries should be ripped but hard.
• Wash the strawberries under plenty of running water.
• Cur the stems off, cut in quarters and place in big bowl.
• You can mash all the strawberries if you want or leave some behind as they are cut in quarters.
• Place the mashed strawberries in a large pot and add the sugar and lemon juice.
• Let it stand for about an hour or two.
• Place the pot on the stove on high heat and boil until the sugar is melted, stirring occasionally and the syrup starts thickening.
• As soon as you see that the syrup is getting thicker, you can try it by taking some of the syrup with a spoon, pour it in a small plate, tilt it a little bit and if the syrup is runny and sticky, the strawberry marmalade is ready.
• If you want your jam to be thicker, just let it boil for a few more minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool down completely.
• When it cools down it will thicken a little bit more.
• Place the Marmelatha Fraoulas (Strawberry Jam) in jars and keep in the refrigerator.
• Change amounts in the ingredient list for more or less jam.
