Description
Single Jar Fruit Jam is a quick small batch jam made with fresh fruit, sugar, and lemon juice. This easy fruit preserve creates a homemade spread in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped fruit (strawberries, raspberries, or peaches)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
1. Wash and hull the fruit as needed. Cut large strawberries into quarters and peaches into bite-sized pieces.
2. Combine fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Gently mash with a wooden spoon until juicy and sugar dissolves.
3. Cook over medium heat, mashing and stirring frequently. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until thick and darkened, about 20 minutes.
4. Carefully spoon into a clean 8-ounce jar. Cool to room temperature, seal, and refrigerate.
Notes
Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Use a clean spoon each time to maintain freshness.
You may freeze with headspace for expansion.
