Strawberry Jam!

With the New Bread Machine I can make Jam! 

Of course I wanted to try it out. We went and picked strawberries in a local field. We picked (and ate) a lot of strawberries. I chopped them all up and threw them in the machine with lemon juice and sugar. The recipe was in the bread machine book:

1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of sugar for 2 cups of strawberries hulled. I doubled it and turned it on. It only took an hour and a half.

After sterilizing the jar and lid (from an old jar of jam we already ate) I poured the liquid all in.

After waiting a bit it was done.

 Yum! Strawberries!

Ok so here's the truth: the jam isn't that good. And I know why. The strawberries looked amazing but didn't actually taste very good. The dark ones were actually sour... not sweet. The jam turned out sour and sweet. Oh and just to clarify, it's not even jam. It's Strawberry Coulis.

I don't know if i'm even going to eat to tell the truth. Maybe I'll try it again with better strawberries. Another time.
