Capture the essence of summer with our Homemade Strawberry Jam. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or savor it straight from the spoon - every jar is a burst of sunshine! 🍓☀️
Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 1-2 hours, allowing the strawberries to release their natural juices.
Transfer the strawberry and sugar mixture to a large saucepan. Add lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the jam reaches the gel point, about 20-25 minutes. You can test for gel point by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate; if it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it’s done.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.
While the jam is still hot, ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
Allow the jars to cool at room temperature. Check seals before storing in a cool, dark place.
