Strawberry Jam, Superior

Strawberry jam, although very delicious, is, if anything, too luscious. If made according to the following recipe, this fault will be corrected. Take the juice of three pints of ripe white or even red currants. Put this into a preserving-pan, and throw in four pounds of freshly-gathered ripe strawberries which have been picked and carefully looked over. Let the fruit boil, remove the scum, and add four pounds of refined loaf sugar. Boil the jam quickly until done enough. Put it into jars, and cover these in the usual manner. Time to boil the jam, from thirty to forty minutes.
