This is better!
6 pints strawberries, washed
3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups Homemade Pectin
Juice of one fresh lemon
In a nonreactive saucepan, over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, pectin and lemon juice. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon the hot mixture into 10 (half-pint) hot sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2-inch of the top. With a clean damp towel, wipe and fit with a hot lid. Tightly screw on the metal ring. Process in a hot water bath for 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals. Tighten the rings. Store in a cool dark place. Let age for at least 2 weeks before using.

If you are determined to use canned cooked strawberries this is how I would do it. Drain the syrup and place on the side. Dump the canned strawberries into a blender or food processer and blend until pureed. If the mixture is too thin you may have to add some cornstacrh to thicken. If too thick which jam usually should be you can use some of the syrup to make it less thick. It should be sweet enough but if not, add some more syrup or sugar to taste. Place in a jar refrigerate until used up.
