Easy Strawberry Jam

Dear Friends and Family,

Started with a recipe in Ben and Jerry's to make strawberry ice cream and ended up making strawberry jam instead.

1 pint strawberries cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/3 cup sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon

Heat all of the ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium/low heat stirring constantly for 20 minutes. Mash the strawberries as they are cooking with a wooden spoon. Decant to a small jar.

Since the jar wasn't sterilized or canned, the jam needs to be consumed within a week or two like any perishable food stored in the fridge. Recipe makes 1 small jar of jam.


Cheers!
