Easy Homemade Strawberry Jam - 4 ingredient recipe! No pectin required!


Hi everyone! As I continue to enjoy my time social distancing (I'm an introvert and only child so this is heaven for me) I've been experimenting with some new recipes in the kitchen. I came across this easy, 4 ingredient recipe for making homemade strawberry jam in one of my Facebook gardening groups and decided to give it a try! This recipe will make about 1 pint of jam and should be good for at least 2 weeks. Can be stored in the refrigerator. No pectin required.

Ingredients:

  • about 4 cups of sliced strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
Cookware:

  • 1 large pot
  • potato masher (or something similar to mash strawberries when finished cooking)
  • spoon
  • jars/containers for storage (I used Ball glass canning jars)
Cooking instructions:

1. Slice strawberries in halves.
2. Combine strawberries with honey, lemon juice and sugar in large pot.
3. Cook on a low heat setting for one hour stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and mash strawberries with potato masher.
5. Pour into storage jars.
 
                     Watch the video below to see how I prepared my jam!

New Decade, New Content!




Happy New Year!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing new year! My holiday break has been so wonderful and I'm sad to see it coming to an end. I really took time to relax and enjoy not having to stare at a computer a majority of the day, however, that does not mean my ideas were not flowing. I plan to keep updating content and also adding some new pages such as beauty reviews focused on products for minorities and Amazon clothing so please stay tuned! My new page "Black Beauty" has just gone live so feel free to stop by and take a peek at my first review!
