Next morning pour them in a cooking pan and cook.
Add fresh lemon juice in the cooking pan.
Keep mixing mashing them with cooking spoon (or you can use hand blender if u dunt want strawberry chunks in your jam)
To check if it's ready or not, place a spoonful of jam on a saucer and into the fridge for a minute or two.
Touch it with your finger and if it "wrinkles", it's ready. If not, boil it for another 2-3 minutes and then check again.
Preserve in sterilized bottles.
For sterilization, boil water in a pan, turn off the flame and add bottles in it.
Leave for 15 minutes. Place them in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Also turn the oven off while placing bottles in it.
