Use up berries that are on their way out or just not as beautiful as they were a few days before with a homemade strawberry jam without pectin. This 3-ingredient jam is very quick to make, low in unrefined sugar, and makes a fun spread for a child’s sandwich. Pectin is naturally occurring in tart fruits and lemons, so there’s no need to add commercially processed pectin to get that nice and thick jelly consistency.

Directions
Step 1
Combine ingredients in saucepan and heat over medium heat with a little boil action until thickened. This may take 5-10 minutes while stirring often.
Step 2
Mash the berries with a fork when softened and continue to stir over a low boil. Once thickened and jam-like, transfer to a glass jar.
Note
Jam will continue to thicken in the fridge.
