Classic Strawberry Jam: To make classic strawberry jam, start by washing and hulling fresh strawberries
Ingredients: Use about 4 cups of strawberries and 4 cups of sugar for a basic recipe
Cooking: Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
Jarring: Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace.
Strawberry Preserves: For preserves, leave the strawberries in larger chunks or slices
Pectin-Free Option: Some recipes use lemon juice as a natural pectin source to help the jam set.
Flavor Variations: Experiment with adding vanilla bean, lemon zest, or balsamic vinegar for unique flavor profiles
