Strawberry Jam Recipes

Looking for easy strawberry jam recipes? This one is a family favorite and we make it when there is a glut of strawberries.

This recipe makes 1 jar of strawberry jam. If you need to make more to give some away as a thoughtful, homemade gift, just double or triple the ingredients.

The key to a good strawberry jam is to NOT cut up all the fruit into small pieces. Leave some large pieces of fruit so that there's a chunky texture to your jam.

Tips

Leave some large chunks of fruit in your jam.

The hot roiling jam will bubble and these may occasionally burst. So, take care not to be burnt by the hot jam.

If you are able to purchase jam sugar, this has added gelatin. So, just add half the quantity of gelatin.
