Low-Sugar Strawberry Jam

This is a delicious, low-sugar take on classic jam recipes: homemade strawberry jam. Its the ideal choice for anyone trying to cut back on sugar intake while still enjoying the flavor of summer strawberries because it has the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries with a hint of citrus from lemon juice and zest.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:

Strawberries should be quartered and put in a large mixing bowl

To ensure that the strawberries are evenly coated, sprinkle them with granulated sugar and stir

Stirring periodically, let the strawberries and sugar mixture sit at room temperature for one to two hours

The strawberries will be able to macerate and release their juices as a result

Move the strawberry mixture to a big saucepan once it has macerated

Stir together the lemon zest and juice after adding them to the saucepan

Stir the mixture constantly and bring it to a boil over medium heat

After it comes to a rolling boil, lower the heat to a simmer and let the jam thicken to your preferred consistency, 20 to 25 minutes

To keep things from sticking and burning, stir periodically

A small amount of jam should cool for a few seconds on a cold plate to determine when its ready

Its ready when you run your finger through it and it wrinkles while maintaining its shape

If not, simmer for a little while longer and test once more in a few minutes

When the jam is done, take it off the heat source and allow it to cool down for several minutes

After sterilizing the jars, fill them with the hot jam, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace

To make sure the jars are properly sealed, process them in a water bath for ten minutes after adding lids and rings

When storing the jars in a cool, dark location, let them cool to room temperature

You can now enjoy your low-sugar strawberry jam as a tasty topping or as a toast or yogurt jam
