How to Make Small Batch Fresh Strawberry Jam

  1. In a 10-12 inch wide skillet, combine 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently and skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  4. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken and looks syrupy, coating the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and let the jam cool completely to room temperature. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
