| Homemade strawberry jam |
2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup of sugar* (see note below)
1/4 cup of water
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
Directions:
Wash, hull, and slice your strawberries. Put them into a saucepan with the water, lemon zest, and sugar. *Note* add sugar a little at a time and taste as you go. You may like your jam a little less sweet. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until jam thickens and reduces. Mash with a potato masher while cooking to break up big chunks.
Pour into a heat resistant jar (I use a funnel, it's less messy that way) and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Enjoy your jam!

Do you have to let the jam sit in the fridge for 2weeks before you eat it?
Anonymous- No, you can eat the jam immediately and store it for up to two weeks. :) Thanks for the comment and enjoy!
I'm so new to this sorry for a silly question...what's null?
Hull means to remove the stems. :)
Is there anyway to preserve them longer in the freezer? Also will this recipe work in a bigger batch as long as I adjust the recipe? Thanks
Yes, you can freeze this up to 6 months, and make as big a batch as you'd like.
