Ingredients
DIY Strawberry Jam
- 5 cups strawberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 teaspoon pectin
- 1/4 cup sugar
Directions
1. Wash the strawberries and remove their green leaves.
2. In a large pot over medium heat, add your strawberries whole with the lemon juice. Bring to a rolling boil then simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Mix the pectin into the sugar and sprinkle over the strawberries. If you like a smoother jam, use an immersion blender to help break down the strawberries, but keep a few whole so there are pieces of fruit still whole in the jam. Continue to heat for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Remove the jam from the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes before canning. Enjoy!
