Place the strawberries in a large bowl and mash them slightly with a potato masher or fork.
Transfer the mashed strawberries to a large saucepan and add the sugar and lemon juice.
Stir over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Boil, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the surface.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, or store in the refrigerator if using immediately.
