Homemade Strawberry Jam takes only 3 ingredients and about 30 minutes to make. It’s extra sweet and delicious when made from scratch, plus add a little but of rhubarb for a tart component that tastes like a raspberry meets green apple!

Ingredients you’ll need:

strawberries
lemons
sugar

How to store homemade strawberry jam?

My preference is to store the homemade strawberry jam in the fridge once it’s completely cooled on the counter to room temperature. I will store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks.

If you’d like to store in the pantry for several months, I recommend looking into hot water bath canning methods!

Ingredients

2 lbs. Fresh Strawberries
2 Rhubarb Stalks (optional)
1-2 cups Granulated Cane Sugar depending on preferred sweetness
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
Lemon Zest (optional)

Instructions

Chop the strawberries into quarters, and the rhubarb into tiny pieces if using.
Combine all ingredients in a large pot over medium high heat.
Stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 5-6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium to continue cooking until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning at the bottom of the pot. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
Traditionally, I would suggest using a candy thermometer to ensure the jam reaches 200-220F. However, you can also use the back of the spoon test by seeing if a line created by your finger in the jam on the back of spoon keeps it’s shape or if it’s still runny.
Store the jam in clean, glass jars. Let cool completely at room temperature then store in the fridge until up to 3-4 weeks – if it even lasts that long!

I truly hope you all enjoy this treasured recipe that has nestled its way into our hearts here in the ABM kitchen! ’till next time… xxL
