Multi-Use Strawberry Jam

Gallery

Now here’s a recipe with multiple uses. This can be used for jam on your toast, ice cream and cake poté filling.

I only make small batches. One pound of strawberries and half the sugar of other recipe’s. Big chunks of strawberries simmered to perfection. Low in sugar. No pectin.

Strawberry Shortcake

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound Strawberry
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • Water to cover berries by 1”inch

DIRECTIONS

  • Take the tops off the strawberries and clean under water.
  • Cut strawberries up into chunks.
  • Place the strawberries in a medium sauce pan with the water.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice
  • Turn the fire on to medium and bring to a full boil. Turn the heat down so it simmers.
  • Continue to stir as it thickens.
  • When the jam is thick enough that it sticks to the spoon when turned on side. Remove from fire.
  • Add vanilla and stir really well.
  • Add to mason jar and completely cool. Put it in refrigerator.
  • Jam will thicken as it cools.
