Bring to a boil, stirring gently just until sugar dissolves.
Keep at a moderate rolling boil 10 minutes.
Add lemon juice (1/2 cup for all but strawberries or very tart berries).
Return to heat and bring to a boil again.
Begin to test for jelly stage (about 220° on a candy thermometer, or when liquid sheets from a metal spoon to form a large drop); this stage will probably be reached about 2 minutes after the preserves begin to boil again.
Remove from heat and skim off white foam.
