How to make jam (Amaou)
It will take a long time to cook if you put the strawberries and sugar on the stove right away, but if you leave it overnight it will cook quickly and you can save time.
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and drain. Place the strawberries in a bowl, cover with 1 kg of sugar, and leave overnight. (This will allow the strawberries to release moisture, allowing them to mix with the sugar and cook more easily.)
Transfer the strawberries that have been left overnight into a pot and cook slowly over medium heat
After about 5 minutes, the scum will rise to the surface, so scoop it up with a ladle and transfer it to a bowl (don't throw it away, you'll need to add it back later!)
If you transfer the scum into a bowl several times, the original scum bubbles will rise to the top, just like beer, so discard the bubbles and return the remaining liquid to the pot
After simmering for about 20 minutes, the sauce will thicken slightly, at which point add the lemon juice
When the mixture thickens enough that you can see the bottom of the pot, pour it into a tray and let it cool at room temperature
