Strawberry jam

I was cleaning out my freezer ready for my Christmas  dinner shopping  and thought  id have a bit of a use it up challenge. I found 5 punnets of strawberries, some fish fillets of a few varieties and some brioche bread, so first up the fish was for dinner tonight with mashed potatos and the brioche will be french toast and bread and butter pudding for the weekend and lastly the strawberries will be slow cooker strawberry  jam which i haven't  made befor , traditional  method yes but not in the slow cooker, but im tired so experiment i will.. so in the slow cooker i added the 1200grams of strawberries, 1 cup of water ,juice of half a lemon and 3 cups of sugar and set it on auto. Hopefully  in the morning i have jam and not a burnt or sloppy mess.
Berries from the freezer
Hulled berries sugar and lemon juice
After 16 hours on low in the slow cooker
