Recipe: Home Made Strawberry Jam (No Refined Sugar, No Pectin)

Although far gone are the pre-school days where I’d have a blackberry jam sandwich for lunch every day, every now and again I do love some strawberry jam, particularly on protein pancakes. The one thing that always bugged me about it was refined sugar being the main ingredient, and it generally only containing 40% strawberries! 1 tbsp usually gives you a whopping 9.9g of mostly processed sugar.

Strawberries are already sweet enough, so I decided to have a few goes at whipping up a batch of jam. This is the recipe I have decided I liked the best so I wanted to share it. The natural sugar provides more than a bunch of sweetness, and only has 1.45g of sugar per table spoon, plus it stores in the fridge just perfectly. Next time I’m making a much larger batch to create 2-3 jars to store in the fridge.

The goal after that is to make them with strawberries I’ve grown myself with the plants I just bought haha.
