Strawberry Jam

Yield: 1 Pint

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Strawberries, stemmed
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Lemon, juiced

Instructions

For no-pectin jam, I typically follow the 2/3 rule when it comes to sugar. Yes, more sugar = quicker setting time, but I can't handle the 1:1 ratio British cooking queen Mary Berry uses. I do, however, follow her three ingredient list: all you need for a wonderful strawberry jam is strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to balance out the sweet a bit.

Bring all three ingredients to a boil in a medium pot. Allow to boil for 10 mins, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30.

Remove from heat and allow to cool before refrigerating-- your jam will be best served next day or later, after it has set a bit in the fridge.
