I used to think jam was such a complicated affair needing a lot of canning equipment, but making a small batch of jam for home use is so fast and easy. All you need is a heavy bottomed pot.


Making it yourself allows you to customize the flavors and control the quantity of sugar. Pectin, agar agar and other thickeners speed up the process a bit, but aren’t essential. I have some jam recipes that use nothing to thicken it. Those versions just need to be cooked a little longer.


Strawberries are pretty much available all year round so this jam can be made at any time of year. However instead of just plain old boring strawberry jam, I spiced mine up here and I can’t tell how how amazing the addition of ginger and rose works with the strawberries.


How long will this jam last?


This fresh jam should be stored in the refrigerator in a glass jar. This small batch jam can last up to 8 weeks in the refrigerator.


Before we get to today’s recipe, let’s take a look at some other recipe you can try.
