     Title: Strawberry Preserves
Categories: Five, Fruits
     Yield: 5 half-pints

     2 lb Fresh picked strawberries
 3 1/2 ts Lemon juice
     1 c  Sugar
   1/2 oz Butter

 Take your strawberries and hull them (use a spoon its
 faster) In large bowl or pan, mash the strawberries to a
 release their juices.

 Add strawberries and lemon juice to a large pot. Cook
 over low heat about 40 minutes. Place a half ounce of
 butter into the strawberries as they boil down and this
 will prevent any foam from forming. Stir in the sugar.

 Bring to boil over medium heat, about 15 minutes. Pour
 into clean, hot sterilized half-pint jars and process
 for 15 minutes.

 Label and date the jars and store in your pantry.
