I went strawberry picking a few weeks ago and I really got carried away with it. I ended up bringing home 8 pts of strawberries. There is NO way I was going to be able to eat all those and I did not want them to go to waste. Solution: Make Jam!!
I was excited about making my own jam. It cost a fraction of the price, it was easy AND it was sugar free! Awesome!!!
Fresh Strawberry Jam
5 cups Strawberries (washed & stems removed)
2 T Water
1 T Cornstarch
2 T Lemon juice
1. In a large pot combine the strawberries and lemon juice. Cook until heated and a little boiling action starts to happen.
2. In a small cup or bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until there are no cornstarch lumps left.
3. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the strawberries and cook until the strawberries thicken.
4. If the strawberries are too lumpy you can choose to cut them before cooking, however I use an immersion blender and puree the entire jam until it is smooth.
5. Store jam in a tightly sealed container or jar and keep refrigerated.
