5 c. fresh strawberries
5 c. sugar
Grated rind from 1 orange
1/4 c. orange juice

Wash berries; slice. Combine with sugar in 4 quart enameled or stainless steel pot. Let stand several hours or overnight until natural juice forms. Bring jam to boiling, stir very gently until sugar dissolves. Keep on moderate boil for 10 minutes. Add rind and orange juice. Return to heat and boil again.
