Strawberry Pie Filling

It's good to add more canning recipes for pie filling to my site since "variety is the spice of life". Kelly posted a great picture of strawberry and blueberry pie filling and realized that I posted the recipe but never did a post with a picture of the strawberry pie filling.
Here it is hoping that now in July some of you have strawberries maybe left to can! Thanks Kelly for the fantastic picture!

Wash Strawberries well and drain fruit in a covered bowl or pot. Combine sugar and Clear Jel® in a large kettle. Stir. Add water.  Cook on medium high heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add lemon juice and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Fold in drained berries immediately and fill jars with mixture without delay, leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, refill is necessary. Wipe rims, add hot lids/rings and process in water bath for 30 minutes at a full rolling boil.
