Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, washed and patted dry
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, blend the fresh strawberries until you reach a smooth puree-like consistency.
  • Optional: Run the strawberry puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds if you prefer a smoother jam.
  • Pour the strawberry puree into a large non-stick saucepan. Cook it on medium-high heat.
  • Add granulated sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix until well combined and keep stirring frequently.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until the jam thickens and bubbles cover the surface, about 12 minutes.
  • Pour the finished jam into a clean jar and let it cool completely. Then, seal the jar and refrigerate it for up to 10 days.

Notes

  • Properly sterilize jars to extend shelf life and enhance flavor retention.
  • Stir constantly to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Test consistency by dropping a small amount on a cold plate.
