"This is just an old fashioned recipe for strawberry preserves. This recipe leaves the berries whole for a rich chunky jam."

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled

5 cups white sugar

2 tablespoons vinegar

1 pinch salt

Directions

In a stockpot, combine the strawberries, sugar, vinegar and salt. Bring to a rolling boil, and cook stirring frequently for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the temperature of the mixture has reached 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).

Transfer the mixture to hot sterile jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace, and seal. Process jars for 10 minutes in a water bath. Refrigerate jam once the seal is broken.
