Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 1/2 lbs. fresh strawberries (hulled and quartered or halved, depending on size (about 4 cups))
  • 1 cup maple syrup (sub with your favorite sweetener)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (may be substituted with pure vanilla extract)

Instruction

  • Place the strawberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a large non-reactive saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Heat over medium heat until boiling, then reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking for 50-60 minutes until the strawberries have cooked down and have thickened. Stir every 10 minutes or so to prevent burning.
  • Once the jam has thickened remove from heat (it will continue to thicken as it cools). Stir in the vanilla, and allow to cool completely. Enjoy!
