I've never made jam before in my life, and suddenly got the urge to try. When I looked up recipes I realized I was lacking the exact ingredients called for, so I improvised with what I had, and the result was so fantastic, I just had to share! This recipe is pectin free and made with frozen berries.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 (16 ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries

  • 3 squeezes lemon juice

  • 1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®), or to taste

Directions

  1. Place strawberries in a pot over low heat; add lemon juice. Mash with a potato masher as strawberries thaw. Stir in sweetener when strawberries are the consistency of your liking.

  2. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until reduced and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. While jam cooks, place a small plate in the freezer.

  4. Put a small amount of jam on the cold plate and run your finger straight through, dividing it in half. If the mixture runs back together, continue to cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more; if it stays divided, jam is ready to serve.

Cook’s Note

I put my jam in a recycled jar. Since it will be used and not stored for an extended period, you don't need to boil the jars and lids. You can store it in any container in the fridge.
