Note

After setting at room temperature, store the jam in the freezer for long-term preservation.

If you plan to use the jam within 3 weeks, you may store it in the refrigerator instead of the freezer.

A few sugar crystals may remain undissolved after stirring; this is normal and does not affect the quality of the jam.

Ensure strawberries are fully ripe for the best flavor and natural pectin content.
