Free food & cooking tip: Hull, halve, weigh (step 1 of 6 from "Small-Batch Strawberry Jam").

1 kg after hulling. Halve big berries, leave small ones whole. If they smell like nothing, they will jam like nothing — add 50 g extra lemon juice and accept a softer set.

Toss with 700 g sugar and lemon juice in the pot. Rest 30–45 minutes until a syrup forms. This is macerating. Skipping it makes undissolved sugar and a gritty boil.
