Mennonite Strawberry Jam
1 qt. fresh strawberries
1 qt. sugar
1 tbsp. cold water
Wash and drain fruit for a short time. Place berries and sugar in a large
kettle. Add cold water. Place over very slow heat until the sugar is melted.
Turn heat up higher and when fruit begins to boil, check the clock and boil well
for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Skim and pour into shallow platters
where fruit will not be more than 1 inch deep. Leave overnight. In the morning,
each berry will be lying in a delicious thick syrup. Bottle in cold, sterilized
jars. Yield: 2 quarts.
