Homemade Low-Sugar Strawberry Jam 🍓

Sweet, spreadable, and made with real fruit flavor—perfect for toast, yogurt, or baking.

Ingredients (simple & clean):
• 8 cups crushed strawberries
• ¼ cup water
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 6 Tbsp low/no-sugar pectin
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 8 half-pint mason jars (if canning)

Directions:

1. Prep your jars if canning: boil jars for 10 minutes to sanitize and keep warm.

2. Wash, hull, and crush strawberries (mash for jam, blend & strain for jelly).

3. In a large pot, combine strawberries, water, lemon juice, and pectin.

4. Bring to a hard rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.

5. Add sugar, return to a rolling boil, and boil 1 minute while stirring.

6. Remove from heat.

7. Not canning? Let cool slightly, pour into containers, cool fully, then refrigerate (keeps ~5–6 days).

8. Canning? Ladle hot jam into warm jars, leaving ¼" headspace. Wipe rims, add lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

9. Cool jars undisturbed—jam thickens fully within 24 hours.

Helpful Tip:
Jam looks runny at first—don’t panic! Low-sugar pectin sets as it cools, not immediately.
