Strawberry Jam

I haven't tried this yet, but it was so easy, I figured I'd post it and give it a chance!

- 1/3 c Water
- 3 tbs Sugar
- 2 c Coarsely chopped strawberries ( divided )

1) In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water and sugar. Cook until sugar is dissolved ( about 3 minutes ).
2) Add 1 cup chopped strawberries and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 10 minutes, smashing the strawberries with a fork. Mixture should be syrupy.
3) Remove from heat, stir in the remaining strawberries.
4) Pour mixture into a bowl, cool completely.
5) When cooled, cover the bowl and chill.

Note: I bet this would be great served warm over nice hot waffles or pancakes!
