4 c  Sliced strawberries

    1/3 c  Sugar

      2 tb Lemon juice

      1    Envelope unflavored gelatin

    1/2 c  Water

  1.   In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice.

  Heat 5 minutes, crushing the berries slightly. Bring to a boil; boll
  rapidly, stirring constantly, 3 minutes.
  2.   In a small bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water.  Let

  stand 1 minute.  Add to strawberry mixture and heat, stirring until gelatin
  is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  3.   Let jam stand 5 minutes, skiing off foam with a spoon. Ladle into

  jars.  Cover and cool slightly before storing in the refrigerator for
  several weeks or in the freezer for longer storage.
  If cooked jam does not set 24 hours after processing there are steps that
  can be taken to solve the problem.  The Department of Agriculture Home and
  Garden Bulletin No.  56 states:
  Soft jams made with regular pectin can sometimes be improved by recooking
  according to the following directions.  It is best to recook only 4 to 6
  cup of jelly or jam at one time.
  To remake with powdered pectin: Measure the jam to be recooked.  For each
  quart of jelly or jam, measure 1/@ cup sugar, 1/4 cup water and 4 tsp
  powdered pectin.  Mix the pectin and water and bring to boiling, stirring
  constantly to prevent.scorching.  Add the jam and sugar. Stir thoroughly.
  Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil
  mixture hard for 1/2 minute. Remove jam from the heat; skim off foam. Ladle
  into hot sterilized jars.  Adjust lids and screw bands and process in a
  boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Start counting time when water comes to a
  boil.
  To remake with liquid pectin: Measure the jam to be recooked.  For each
  quart of jam, measure 3/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 2 Tbsp liquid
  pectin.  Bring jam to boiling over high heat.  Quickly add the sugar, lemon
  juice and pectin and bring to a full rolling boil; stir constantly. Boil
  mixture hard for 1 minute.  Remove jam from the heat; skim off foam. Ladle
  into hot sterilized jars.  Adjust lids and screw bands and process in a
  boiling water bath for 5 minutes.  Start counting time when water comes to
  a boil.  If there are problems with the Sure-Jell One Step (Fruit
