My First Try At Strawberry Jam

1 kg of strawberries
 
washed, discard over ripped berries and leaves, paper towel dried, sliced in small pieces and leave in the refrigerator overnight
 
put the sliced strawberries in a heavy bottom pan, add 1.2 cup of brown sugar
 
I also added 1 inch of cinnamon stick to the cooking
 
start cooking on low heat, stirring constantly
 
increase the temperature to medium high once the sugar is dissolved
 
remove pan from the stove once the jam reaches setting point or really thick  
let the jam cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a clean bottle
 
 cover and keep in the refrigerator
