I watched the video first and am glad I did. As another reviewer noted, in the video Ina says 1 1/2 cups sugar and 2 pints strawberries, which is different than the recipe. I followed the video and let it cook at a rolling boil for just over 20 minutes. I think it will set up nicely and initial taste test is not too sweet. I was concerned about the lemon but it does not have a strong lemon flavor and am glad I could use lemon vice store bought pectin.

I cooked it for about 30 minutes and it did the trick on the frozen dish. I put it straight into the fridge. Just had it this morning for breakfast on my toast and it was perfect!!!! Ina does it again!! Oh and the lemon gave it such a nice freshness.

I was looking forward to this dish, but it took over an hour to thicken up. It still was not as thick as I would have liked it to be SO...I took the contents of the pan and poured the mixture into my food processor. By mashing up the strawberries; the mix did thicken a bit more. The next time I may break down and use Pectin. It is a great recipe, it just has to thicken better.

this strawberry jam turned out really well for me unlike many comments here. 20 mins for sugar and lemon juice and then about 30 mins along with strawberrys. :

Great recipe but it took a little over 2 hours after the initial 30 minutes to cook down.

This turned out really tasty- but the recipe could have been better explained. It took waaaaaaaaay longer than 20 minutes to cook- mine was on the stove about 50 minutes at slightly higher heat. It was still very thin when I put it in the fridge, but it gelled up and tasted fantastic after it set up. I don't think it turned out too sweet and I used 2 cups of sugar. Very good, very easy recipe- just poorly explained.

This is a poor recipe, if on the TV show the sugar used is 1 1/2 cups and on the directions 2 cups. I followed the recipe. Much too sweet. It took much longer than stated. Now I wonder if the 1 and 1/2 pints should have been quarts, as there were not many berries per jar. Never again will I just look at the star rating.

This is a total no-brainer. Here in Florida it's the end of berry season, so they are on sale. So simple, not too sweet, and I don't really even taste the lemon enough to say it's in there. Just adds freshness, I think. I'll never buy preserves at the store again.
