Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Large pot I use 4qt Dutch oven
  • Spoon
  • 2 16 oz glass jars

Ingredients

  • 1 kg ripe strawberries hulled and cut in half
  • 600 g white sugar
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot (I use a 4-quart Dutch oven).
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook for around 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. To check for doneness, coat a spoon with the jam and quickly trace a line across the back of it with your fingertip. If the line remains clear, the jam is ready. You can also place a plate in the freezer while the jam is cooking. Once done, spoon some jam on it and tilt it. If the jam runs down slowly, it’s done.
  • Pour the hot jam into sterile jars and close them tightly. Refrigerate overnight before serving. This jam is also great for water bath canning if you want to store it for a longer time.
