Ingredients
2cupsStrawberries, hulled and slicedUse ripe strawberries for best flavor.
1/2cupGranulated sugarAdjust sugar to taste if desired.
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add in the strawberries and sugar. Turn the heat on to medium and stir until the sugar starts to dissolve into the strawberry juice.
With the back of your spoon, mash the strawberries to help break down the strawberries. Keep stirring occasionally and mashing the strawberries with the back of the spoon.
Once the strawberries break down and the syrup thickens, remove from the heat. It will start to coat the back of your spoon. The entire process took about 25 minutes.
Pour the jam into a sterilized half pint jar and let it cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
