Hazırlanışı

1. Wash the strawberries, remove the tops and coarsely chop. Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a heavy bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Boil over medium high heat stirring frequently, and skimming off the foam for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to a slow boil, and continue to cook until the jam has almost set, about 45 minutes to an hour. Add the balsamic and pepper if using and mix well. Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes. Test to see if your jam has set (see notes above) Sterilize your jars and lids and while still hot fill with the jam leaving about a 1/2 inch headspace. Place lids onto the jars and boil in a water bath with jars covered by 3 inches of water for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit an additional 5 minutes before removing from the water bath. Place the jars on counter and let sit untouched for 6 hours before storing. Refrigerate after opening. Enjoy!
