How to Make Kittencal's Easy Refrigerator Strawberry Jam

Gently mash 2 cups of fresh strawberries in a medium bowl using a potato masher or fork. Leave some larger pieces for texture if desired.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 packet (1.75 oz) powdered pectin. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for exactly 1 minute. If the color is too pale, add a few drops of red food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, airtight glass jar or container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the jam to fully set before serving. Enjoy your homemade strawberry jam on waffles, pancakes, toast, or as a cheesecake topping!
