Prep Time
10 minutes
Cook Time
2 hours
Serves
6
Ingredients
- (3) 12 oz containers of strawberries
- 2 teaspoons of raw sugar (or sugar of your liking)
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 3 teaspoons of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of cornstarch
Steps
1
First things first, rinse the strawberries with luke warm water. Next, on top of a clean surface, you will cut the strawberries (diced).
2
After you’ve cut the strawberries, prep a small sauce pan on the stove. Pour about 2 cups of water in the pan and turn the hot on medium (you don’t necessarily want boiling water). This ensures that the jam has the right consistency.
3
Once you’ve poured the water into the pan, you will then put the cut strawberries into the pan. Place a lid on top of the pan and let the strawberries simmer for about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally helps in achieving the perfect strawberry jam.
4
After 10 minutes or when the strawberries are a little soft, stir and add the lemon juice, sugar and honey. Stir all of the ingredients together and add a little more water if needed and allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes.
5
After 30 minutes, sprinkle the cornstarch little by little into the mixture and stir. Make sure you taste test for course. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 30 minutes. After the mixture has become smooth, let it cool. Store the jam in a glass container and refrigerate. After the jam has been refrigated for some time, serve and enjoy!
