Ingredients

454 g (16 ounces) frozen or fresh strawberries

65 g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar

6 g (1 tsp) cornstarch

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Add your strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Mix the ingredients, ensuring the dry ingredients are covering your berries.
  • Place saucepan with your berry mixture on your stovetop on medium heat. Stir occasionally for about 15 minutes.
  • Let berries break down a bit until the mixture begins bubbling.
  • Stir constantly until the mixture thickens. The jam will be ready when it coats and sticks to a spoon.
  • Remove from heat. Let mixture fully cool to thicken for about 30 minutes and place in a glass jar or airtight container. Store in refrigerator.
