1. If you are canning your jam, sanitize and prepare your jars. I like to wash them in warm soapy water, then I keep them in the oven on 200°F on a cookie sheet to keep them hot. (Do not pour hot jam into cold jars or they will shatter.) Boil the lids in the water bath for at least 5 minutes before using.
2. To prepare strawberries, wash them and remove stems and hulls. Place strawberries in a food mill and mash all of them, catching the juice in a large bowl. You can also blend them in a blender and strain the juice, discarding the seeds, or use a potato ricer to mash the berries. If using frozen strawberries, you can heat them over the stove to soften them, then mash with a potato masher.
3. Place strawberries, water, and lemon juice in a large stock pot. Stir in pectin and heat the mixture over high heat until it comes to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Make sure you are stirring the whole time to prevent the bottom from scorching.
4. Add sugar and return to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for a minute, while stirring. Remove from heat.
