Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lbs fresh strawberries
1/2 c sugar
1 pinch salt
1 c strawberry jam
2 tbsps lemon juice

Clean, hull, and cut strawberries into 1/4- to 1/8-inch slices. Toss
berries, sugar, and salt in medium bowl; let stand until berries have
released juice and sugar has dissolved, about 30 minutes; tossing
occasionally to combine.

Process jam in food processor until smooth, about 8 seconds; transfer to
small saucepan. Bring jam to simmer over medium-high heat; simmer,
stirring frequently, until dark and no longer frothy, about 3 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice; pour warm liquid over strawberries and stir to
combine. Let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until
cold, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours. To serve, spoon a portion of
topping over each slice of cheesecake.
