Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the required ingredients.
Step 2
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, cut them into pieces, and place them in a saucepan. Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will soften and release their juices. If you prefer a smoother texture with smaller fruit pieces, lightly mash them with a fork or a potato masher.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the seeds, and stir well. Leave the jam to cool completely.
Step 5
As the jam cools, it will thicken. If you'd like it sweeter, add your preferred sweetener to taste.
Step 6
Transfer the cooled jam to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator. It's a great way to enjoy fresh strawberries at the peak of their season. During the winter, you can make it with frozen strawberries instead.
