- In a separate large pot, combine the strawberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Once the mixture has come to a boil, add the butter and continue to stir until the butter has melted and combined with the mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 25-30 minutes until it has thickened and reaches the desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- To test if the jam has reached the desired consistency, place a small amount of jam on a cold plate and let it cool for a few seconds. If it forms a skin and wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready. If not, continue to simmer and test again after a few minutes.
- Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
