Description
Strawberry Balsamic Jam is a deliciously unique spread that combines sweet strawberries with the tang of balsamic vinegar. Whether used on toast, paired with cheese, or as a glaze for meats, this quick and easy jam adds sophistication and versatility to your meals.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring often until thickened.
- To test for doneness, place a spoonful of the jam on a cold plate. Run your finger through it—if it wrinkles and holds its shape, it’s ready.
- Let the jam cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
- Freeze for long-term storage.
- Variations: Add cinnamon or black pepper for a unique twist, or try raspberries, blueberries, or peaches for a different fruit profile.
