Prep Time

Cook Time

Serves
4

Instructions

Step 1
Add strawberries, sugar and lemon juice + zest to a pan or pot wide enough to fit the mixture in a layer or two

Step 2
Bring mixture up to boil, reduce to a bare simmer and let simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until mixture has thickened into jam

Step 3
When is my jam ready? When you drag your spoon across the bottom of the pan and the mixture doesn’t rush back into place; when the mixture has turned from ruby to a more purplish burgundy shade; when the mixture comes off your spoon in slower clumpy drips as opposed to a fast stream; when the mixture is uniform, matte and bubbles are tight and larger, not sloshy or foamy.
