- Cook the Jam: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the strawberry mixture to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Continue cooking for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired jam consistency.
- Cool and Store: Remove the jam from the heat and allow it to cool. Once cooled, transfer the Easy Strawberry Jam into a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
