Try this jam recipe.... it is so easy! The quantity of sugar and raw honey you add is completely up to you (because everyone likes flexibility right?).
3 pints of fresh strawberries
3 cups of sugar (you can also substitute for raw honey here)
2 tablespoons of orange liqueur
1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced small
1. Place the berries in a deep pot and mix in sugar and orange liqueur.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Add apple and continue to stir until the mixture reaches 220 degrees on thermometer (around 25-35 mins.)
3. Skim any foam from top and discard.
4. Cool to room temperature and store in fridge or freezer jars if keeping longer.
Three things to do with your jam:
1. fill mini whole wheat pita's cut in half with jam and/or cream cheese. This is a great appetizer and Dakota's favorite for her lunch box.
2. Pour jam over a 8 oz block of light cream cheese and surround by your favorite cracker.
3. Warm up jam in the microwave and spoon over ice cream for a great looking dessert, add mint leaf and your a chef!
