Yield 1 1.2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 qt ripe, organic strawberries, hulled and sliced
3⁄4 to 1 cup raw organic sugar (or substitute regular granulated sugar), depending on the sweetness of the berries
2 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the strawberry mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon and mashing the strawberries slightly (I used a potato masher for this). Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Put about a teaspoon of the jam mixture on the a plate and swirl the plate around. If the jam runs, cook for 2-5 minutes longer and repeat the process. (The jam should firm up when it hits the cold plate and should no longer run.) Transfer to clean glass jars and cool. When completely cool, cover and refrigerate. Makes about 1 1⁄2 pints.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful strawberries for the best jam.
  • Use a large pot or saucepan to make the jam, as it will bubble up during cooking.
  • Stir the jam frequently to prevent scorching.
  • Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam; it should reach 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the jam cool slightly before pouring it into jars.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them.
  • Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
