1. Check the strawberries and remove any bad, discolored, or bruised ones. Pro tip - You can use soft strawberries but discolored and bruised ones can ruin the jelly. Also, don't soak the fruit in water for too long as they do soak up moisture.
2. Place the strawberries in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the puree into a sieve /mesh or cheesecloth to strain out only the juice. Discard the seeds and fruit fiber. Pro tip - I like to use my blender instead of a food processor so I don't lose all the fruit fiber. The disadvantage of keeping fruit fiber though is that the jelly is less transparent.
3. In a heavy bottom pan, combine the strawberries, sugar, salt, pectin powder, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir. Pro tip - Some pectin can become lumpy when added to the pan, but, it does dissolve during cooking. Alternatively, you can add the pectin to a small batch of strawberry puree and then add it to the pot.
4. Cook on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then, turn the heat up and let the mixture come to a boil. Let it boil for two minutes on medium-high. Skim any foam that rises to the top.Pro tip - The foam does not affect the taste of the jelly but it does give the jelly a cloudy appearance.
