Why This Jam Is So Special

Grandma’s recipes always seem to taste better, don’t they? That’s because they’re built on:

Simple ingredients
Easy techniques
Tried-and-true flavors
A whole lot of heart

This strawberry jam is no different. It’s fresh, bright, and delicious on everything from toast to warm biscuits to Sunday pancakes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Just a handful of basic ingredients come together to create the perfect homemade jam:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for extra warmth

How to Make It (The Cozy Grandma Way)

1. Prep the Strawberries

Give your berries a quick wash, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces. If you like your jam chunky, leave some bigger pieces.

2. Add Everything to the Pot

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to help the berries release their natural juices.

3. Simmer Slowly

Place the pot over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir frequently as the mixture thickens.
This usually takes 10–15 minutes.

4. Check the Consistency

To see if your jam is ready, place a spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed, it’s done!
If not, simmer for a few more minutes.

5. Add a Touch of Love

For a cozy flavor boost, stir in a splash of vanilla extract right at the end.

6. Cool and Store

Let the jam cool to room temperature, then store it in a clean jar. Keep it refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Ways to Enjoy Your Homemade Jam

This jam is incredibly versatile! Try it on:
