Description

A sweet and tangy jam made with fresh strawberries and zesty lemon, perfect for spreading on toast, stirring into yogurt, or gifting in jars.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mash the strawberries slightly using a potato masher.
  2. Stir in the fruit pectin and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the sugar all at once and return the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the top.
  5. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  6. Seal jars with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  7. Let jars cool completely and check for proper seals before storing.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the strawberries before cooking.
