The strawberries remain whole and taste delicious but the preserve is far too runny for spreading and can only be used as sauce.

Hello,
The lemon juice is important as it helps with the setting.
But it sounds like he is just not boiling it enough to make sure it reaches the setting point.
We haven’t got a video of strawberry preserve but we do have marmalade which does show how the rapid boil should look and how to test if the preserve is going to set.
