Homemade Strawberry Jam. Use all those fresh, juicy berries to make your own jam at home! No canning required. Simply store this jam in your refrigerator or freezer to enjoy.
Clean and hull the strawberries, removing the stem and leaves with this huller. Dice 2 pounds strawberries and add them to a medium size saucepan.
Add 1 ½ cups sugar, 1 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin and stir to combine. Heat over medium heat until the strawberries start to juice and the mixture simmers along the edge of the pot.
Mash the strawberries to the desired consistency while continuing to cook over medium heat.
Continue to cook the strawberries over medium heat an additional 5 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened.
Pour the jam into sealable jars or containers. Seal and let cool to room temperature.
Once cooled to room temperature store the jam in the refrigerator or freezer.
