Note

Sterilize jars by washing in hot soapy water, rinsing well, and placing in a 250&# 194;°F oven for 10 minutes before filling.

Ensure jars are hot when filling to prevent cracking and ensure a proper seal.

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks.

For a firmer set, you can add pectin according to package instructions, though the high sugar content usually provides sufficient gelation.

Adjust sugar quantity slightly if using very ripe, sweet strawberries for a less sweet result.
