Easy Strawberry Jam
This easy strawberry jam is the perfect healthy homemade alternative to store-bought jam. This jam is made with healthy, wholesome ingredients, is refined sugar-free, and takes less than 10 minutes to make.
In my opinion, nothing is better than fresh homemade jam on a slice of sourdough. This fresh fruity jam is so delicious and a family favorite.
On my journey to healthier eating, I have learned that many store-bought sauces and condiments are filled with extra sugar and unnecessary ingredients. So I started experimenting with making sauces, jams, and condiments at home for an easy way to reduce sugar in your diet without losing the flavor. This jam is so good you will not miss the sugary store-bought alternative!
