The sweetest and easiest homemade strawberry jam you will ever make. Only four ingredients, perfect for toast, crackers, and of course PB & J’s.
I’ve never made homemade jam before, but let’s just say after tasting this, I’m never going back to buying it in the store again! This jam was incredibly tasty, and it was also so easy to make! I cooked it right in the crockpot and all it took was two hours! With strawberry season starting (in Connecticut), you’ll want to hit your nearest picking patch and get cooking!
