Strawberry Jam Recipe
It’s strawberry season and my farmers market has abundant California strawberries now. They are so fresh, big, red and juicy! There is no better time to make homemade strawberry jam or preserves. This recipe is the best way to use up fresh strawberry and extend its shelf life. You can use it as a spread for morning bread, toast, or as a jam topping for cookies or making cakes.
Strawberry Jam Ingredients
My recipe is easy, healthy and the best strawberry jam ever! There is no pectin in the recipe, which is a setting agent in jams and jellies. It calls for only three ingredients below:
Fresh strawberries Sugar Lemon juice
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
How To Make Strawberry Jam
To make it from scratch, first you crush the fresh strawberries. Slowly cook and simmer with sugar until it becomes a thicker jam consistency. Add the lemon juice and simmer until the jam reaches your desired consistency. Turn off the heat and let cool, then transfer into an airtight jar or container and keep in the fridge.
What To Serve With Strawberry Jam
You can spread the jam on a variety of baked goods (such as my brioche). You can also use it for cookies and cakes. Here are some of my suggestions: I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do.
