In a large bowl, combine the mashed strawberries and sugar. Mix well and let sit for 1 hour.
Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and add the lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens.
Test the jam’s consistency by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it’s ready.
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Skim off any foam if necessary.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal immediately.
Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for longer shelf life.
