How to make small batch strawberry jam

Our friends at Cooking up a Story are cooking up strawberry jam. This video features Marge Braker of the aptly-named food school "Preserve" (Portland, OR) making small-batch strawberry jam. In case you missed the ingredient list, it's short and, yes, sweet: 3 cups fresh sliced stawberries (4 cups whole berries) 1 cup of sugar 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon of diced candied ginger (optional) Clearly, you can scale the recipe up to make more, but Marge makes a good case for the convenience of thinking small. Whether your plans are big or small, this video gives an excellent overview of the jam making process.
