Strawberry preserve

I found the vegetable and fruits market flooded with strawberries, which is also my favourite fruit. So I thought I can make a preserve out of it.
This preserve is made without using any preservative, artificial colour and essence. It is simple to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for nearly a month.
Strawberry preserve can be used as a spread for bread and flat breads. It can be added to cold milk to make milk shake, or to curd to make strawberry lassi. It can also be used while making plum cake.

Ingredients:
Crushed strawberry - 3cups
Sugar - 2 cups
Lemon juice - 4tsp

Method:
Mix the strawberry and the sugar in a thick bottom pan.

Place it on the stove and stir continuously. When it starts to thicken, reduce the heat and add the lemon juice. Allow it to thicken to the consistency of jam. Cool and store it in refrigerator.
Note: Crush the strawberries with a fork to get some pieces in the preserve. Orange rind can also be added along with lemon juice to give a tangy flavour.
