Bright and Fruity Strawberry Jam, Your Way

Ingredients

• 4 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar, optional

Directions

1. Add the strawberries and lemon juice to a large nonreactive saucepan, then place it over medium heat and warm the fruit until it begins to simmer.
2. Mix in the sugar and increase the heat to medium-high until the jam reaches a full boil, then lower it back to a simmer.
3. Add the pectin and stir until it has completely dissolved. Turn the heat back up to medium-high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
4. Once the jam is fully boiling, continue cooking for 1 minute. Take the pan off the heat and allow the jam to sit for 5 minutes.
