Small Batch Strawberry Jam

The arrival of fresh strawberries signals the start of summer, the time to visit pick-your-own farms and farmers’ markets to stock up on plump, ripe berries. This recipe makes an unfussy version in a smaller size—faster and easier than traditional canning.

Love this easy refrigerator jam? Us, too. This is why we’ve got a recipe for small-batch blueberry jam as well.
