  2. 2. Place the pot over medium heat and slowly bring it to a boil, occasionally stirring.
  3. 3. Add the lemon juice and cook rapidly until the strawberry mixture is clear and the syrup is thick, about 15 minutes.
  4. 4. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and let it stand, uncovered, for 10 hours.
  5. 5. Transfer the preserves into hot, sterilized jars.
  6. 6. Process in a boiling water bath for about 20 minutes and seal.
