Here’s a simple, classic recipe (small-batch, no fancy tools):

🍓 Homemade Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb (900 g) fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare strawberries
    Mash them lightly (leave some chunks if you like texture).
  2. Cook
    Add strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a large pot.
    Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
  3. Boil & thicken
    Bring to a rolling boil. Cook 20–30 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
    Skim off foam if needed.
  4. Test thickness
    Drop a little jam on a cold plate — if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
  5. Jar it
    Pour hot jam into clean jars. Let cool, then refrigerate or seal for storage.

Tips:

  • For smoother jam, blend slightly before cooking.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of vanilla at the end.
  • Keeps 3 weeks refrigerated or up to 1 year sealed.
