Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries Local strawberries work best.
  • 1 cup sugar Adjust according to fruit sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch or chia seeds Optional for thicker jam.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the strawberries and toss them in the Instant Pot with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for about ten minutes.
Cooking
  1. Hit sauté for a minute just to warm up the mixture.
  2. Pop on the lid and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
  3. Release the pressure carefully, mash the mixture a bit and if it seems too thin, set to sauté and cook for a few extra minutes.

Notes

Jam will freeze well; cool completely before storing in freezer-safe jars. Label jars with the date for easy identification. Use different fruits while keeping the sugar and lemon juice ratio similar.
