My actual procedure I followed?

For 500g setting sugar, and a bit more than that of strawberries

• Preheat oven to 180C
• Wash strawberries with damp towel (prevents water absorption)
• Cut strawberries into pieces, mash lightly, mix with sugar, leave to sit at room temp (12hr or overnight recommended but nah)
• Wash jars with warm soapy water and dry with tea towel
• Prep pan with water, warm up to simmer, turn off heat
• Place saucers in fridge? Freezer?
• Place strawberries and sugar in pot with juice of half a lemon
• Low heat until sugar is fully dissolved
• While waiting, place jars in oven and lids in boiling pan
• Once sugar is dissolved, boil for 5-10min, turn off heat, and test on back of cold saucer. If not set enough, then turn heat back on and boil for 2min at a time, turn off, test again
• Meanwhile, take jars and lids out after 10min, place on clean towels
• Spoon scum off top of jam
• Add small knob of butter
• Spoon jam into jar whilst both jam and jar are warm
• Leave to cool
