Grand Strawberry Jam

If you have ever been nervous about making jam you should try it in the slow cooker. It is really easy as you just put all the ingredients in and let it simmer in the slow cooker. Although it is important to be home to keep an eye on it. Strawberry jam on scones or toast is just so delicious. A trick to know when the jam has set is place small plate in the fridge. Then put a small spoon of the jam mixture onto the cold plate and run your finger through it. If the jam does not run together you know it's ready!

8 cups of fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 cups white sugar
1 package (50 grams) powdered fruit pectin

Crush strawberries completely with a potato masher; pour into the slow cooker.
Pour lemon juice over strawberries.
Sprinkle pectin over strawberries.
Let mixture stand 10 minutes.
Stir sugar through the strawberries.
Cook on Low for 2 hours, stirring twice while it cooks.
Increase heat to High and continue cooking until jam thickens to desired consistency, 2 to 3 hours.
