Once you try this homemade strawberry jam, you’ll never want to buy store-bought jelly again. It’s absolutely delicious on bread, crackers, toast, or swirled into yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 1.1 lbs (approx. 500g) fresh strawberries;
- 4 tablespoons demerara sugar (or turbinado sugar);

How to make homemade strawberry jam:
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces;
- Add the strawberries to your non-stick saucepan;
- Add the sugar;
- Mix everything together;
- Cover and let it simmer over medium heat;
- The strawberries will release a lot of water; let the liquid reduce well, keeping an eye on it to prevent sticking or burning;
- Once the syrup has thickened, turn off the heat;
- Allow it to cool completely, then transfer to a glass jar with a lid;
- Store in the refrigerator—it will keep for several days!
