Homemade Strawberry Jam

Homemade Strawberry Jam recipe needs only three ingredients and they are ,Strawberries,sugar and lemon . It just needs only 20 minutes to prepare this small batch of scrumptious jam recipe . When one can make jam with minimal ingredients easily available in pantry ,Why go for store bought jam? Yes,store bought jams are good with preservatives and stays for long. But,when you make jam with fresh produce without pectin or any artificial preservatives, I feel so satisfied with my Homemade strawberry jam. The taste is so yum and I’m happy I provide good quality food for my family .

I make jam with all seasonal fruits available in market. You can try my Homemade Mango Jam,which is also made with the same process. Wait for my next mixed fruit jam in my blog ! As I mentioned earlier ,this is a small batch strawberry jam ,which is enough for two for a month. You can double or triple the recipe ingredients for more and enjoy few months.

      For peach, you can peel the skin and adjust sugar level according to the produce taste.
