Homemade Strawberry Jam

Hi bloggers and community. Since I had some strawberries on hand yesterday, I decided to make my own homemade strawberry jam. It’s quick and easy to make. The taste is sweet and tart with a thick consistency—just the way I like it. It’s perfect as a spread on bread or as a topping for pudding or cake. Okay, let’s get started

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

• Soak the strawberries in baking soda, then rinse them thoroughly under running water

• Drain

• Remove the leaves from the strawberries

• Place the strawberries in a pan

• Turn on the stove to high heat and wait until they soften; mash the strawberries until they soft and release their juices

• Add the sugar and stir continuously until the strawberry mixture thickens about 10-15 minutes

• Add the lemon juice to the pan to help the jam keep longer

• Turn off the heat and let it cool

• The homemade strawberry jam is ready to use

• I use this jam as a topping for my strawberry cheesecake, this sweet and tart combination is delicious with my homemade cheesecake
