Strawberry Jam
This is the easiest strawberry jam recipe you’ll ever make and the flavour is sweet, fruity, and bright. You only need 3 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries fresh or frozen (if fresh, remove tops. If frozen, thawed), 454 grams
- Juice of one large lime OR lemon (about 2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
- Zest of one large lime or lemon
- 1 cup sugar (feel free to use ½ this), 200 grams
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, lime or lemon, zest and sugar into a pot over medium high heat. Stir everything together and mash the entire mixture together.
- Let the mix come to a rolling boil and lower to medium low heat (to an active simmer). Continue to simmer for 30 minutes to reduce, stirring and mashing every few minutes and watching that the bottom isn't caramelising or burning (lower heat if it is). Test your jam on a cold plate from the freezer - if it sticks and doesn't immediately slide it's ready. I cooked mine for an extra 10 minutes at this point.
- Once ready, turn off heat and let cool for a few (3-5) minutes. Taste test to see if you need more or less of anything. Scoop the jam into sterilised and dried mason jars to store. Enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerator: This strawberry jam can be stored in airtight containers or mason jars in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: You can also freeze this jam for longer storage. Just make sure to leave some room at the top of your container for expansion, and thaw it in the fridge before using.
