Making this homemade strawberry jam is so simple because it only requires 3 ingredients and doesn't need pectin. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make your own jam! The combination of sweet-tart flavor from fresh strawberries and lemon juice will keep you coming back for more. It's the best strawberry jam that I can share!
Ingredients
Directions
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- Granulated sugar (amount depends on taste)
- Fresh lemon juice (or bottled lemon juice for canning)
Directions
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then roughly chop them.
- Combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large pot.
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring often, until the jam reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer.
- Pour the jam into clean or sterilized mason jars and seal. Let the jars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
