2022 CSA Week 6 Recipes

strawberry jam

Cut up all of the strawberries. Mash them leaving as many chunks as desired. Mix with 1 cup sugar and two Tbsp lemon juice. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop and cook until it reaches 220 degrees. Let cool, put in a jar and keep in the fridge or hot water bath can. 

Strawberries are in abundance right now we recommend buying as many as you can and scaling this recipe up to make more jam. a natural sugar like honey would have been better to use but we don't have a good recipe for that yet.
