<p>Homemade strawberry jam is quick, easy and better than store-bought jam in every way; natural, fresh and customizable to your personal taste. You can make it as sweet or as tart as you&#8217;d like, add spices, combine different fruit, make it chunky or smooth, it&#8217;s really up to YOU! This method and recipe can be used for any kind of jam, not just strawberry. Some of my favourite jam flavours are mixed berries, peach and cherry. ;</p>
<p>This jam recipe is made without pectin. Cornflour (or cornstarch) combined with lemon juice is a great alternative to pectin. It thickens up jam really well, combined with the sugar and heat. Also, this recipe is gluten free! There&#8217;s so many way to use this homemade strawberry jam, it probably won&#8217;t last you more than a month. For instance, it can be used on toast, scones, biscuits, or <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/breakfast-bites/pb-j-oat-crumble-bars/amp/">PB &; J Oat Crumble Bars</a> ;(photos below).</p>

<h4>How to preserve homemade strawberry jam</h4>
<p>First, you will need to sterilize your canning jar. All you have to do is submerge the jar in a pot of boiling water and cover it with the lid for at least 10 minutes. Then, pick up with lifters or tongs and set aside to dry. You can pour in the freshly made jam when the jar is completely dry. If you will be using it within a month, you can seal and refrigerate at this step. However, if you need to preserve it for longer, submerge the filled and sealed jar in boiling water again for around 30 minutes on a simmer. Let it cool and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months. Keep in mind that once opened, it will last up to 1 month and needs to be refrigerated.</p>
