Step 1
Add strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Stir occasionally as the mixture heats, then bring to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Boil for 5–7 minutes, stirring and breaking up the berries with the back of a spoon, until thick and glossy.
Step 4
Test by dropping a small spoonful on a cold plate—it should wrinkle slightly when pushed.
Step 5
Remove from heat and let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a jar or bowl.
