Refrigerator Strawberry Jam
There is nothing better than a toasted English Muffin topped with homemade Strawberry Jam! It is so easy to make Refrigerator Strawberry Jam and takes very little time. It is practically fool-proof so any level of cook can make this! Keep in mind, this is not canned so the consistency isn’t as thick and it won’t last in the refrigerator as long, only about 2 weeks. It will be gone before that in my house! The taste, however, is as delicious as any other jam.

Looks yummy ! 🙂
wow nice!
Thanks!
It’s strawberry season here perhaps it’s time I made some as it has been a while. I do like the tanginess of homemade jam
Me too! Our strawberries are not a very sweet variety so cooking with them is delicious! Don’t wait, strawberries will be gone in a blink of the eye!
Yes that is true!
Looks yummy
Thanks!
I have to stay out of the strawberries 🍓 long enough to save some for the jam! Lol
Hahaha I have that problem when I pick them!
Ah, long time since I made jam! It’s so much nicer when homemade.
I agree! The taste is so much better than store bought.
Looks so good!
Thank you!
Perfect … our strawberries are in season right now!
Enjoy! I love how mine go from rhubarb to asparagus to strawberries to blueberries and then the garden. It’s like one gets done and another begins!
That’s a perfect way to do it Diane. Landscapers say that you are supposed to do that with your perennials as well, so there is always color in your yard during the growing season.
I used to make this with my kids when they were younger and then they gave jars to their teachers and bus driver. I don’t make it any more because we don’t eat a lot of jam.
What a nice gift for the teachers! I canned it when my kids were young as well. I stopped when they moved out and now the grandkids are here from Thursday night through Sunday night while their mom works so I am bringing back a lot of the recipes I use to make. Peanut butter is a staple in our house once again…hahaha
I was wondering about refrigerator jam the other day, and here you are with this fab recipe! (See? This proves Great Minds think alike…) Thanks for sharing this!

Hopefully I have enough next year for this. Last year we made smoothies with the frozen surplus.
