Just in time for all the beautiful strawberries that are available, here’s a quick and really easy recipe. I’ve made this jam for several years now and our family just loves it. During strawberry season, I make a few batches and freeze in small containers. Slather it on your morning toast, pancakes or waffles. It’s also great warmed up and drizzled on ice cream. Happy Spring, y’all.
Take advantage of fresh strawberries and make this easy jam that you can freeze for later use.

Only ten days for yours? I've done this before and it's lasted well over a month. I can't be sure any longer than that because we gobbled it up by then. But it lasted way longer than 10 days.
