What makes this jam the best?
It's fun to make, and so much tastier to whip up a jar of jam yourself than using store-bought.
– fresh strawberries – granulated sugar – vanilla bean – citric acid
Step 1
Wash strawberries. Chop smaller into fourths, and larger berries into eighths.
Step 2
Wash glass jars. Keep the jars in a warm place. In a large pan over medium heat, combine the chopped strawberries with sugar.
Step 3
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both to the strawberry mixture. Whisk and let it simmer for 40-60 minutes.
Step 4
Add citric acid. Fill the warmed jars and Keep them in a dry place at room temperature for up to a year.
