Organic Strawberry Jam

Who doesn’t love the aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness of strawberries?

It is peak season, and I wanted to try my hand at making jam. I used 4 pounds of organic strawberries and 2 cups of organic sugar. I trimmed the berries, mushed them up a bit with my hands and added the sugar.

I simmered the berries and sugar on medium heat, and before I knew it the sweetest smell was filling my kitchen.

I filled about 8, 8oz. jars and stored in the refrigerator.

I hope my family enjoys this sweet summertime gift!
