Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?
Yes you can. Although fresh berries are the best to use. But if you plan to use frozen berries then make sure to defrost/thaw these first. And it might take more time to thicken so just increase that time on saute later.
Can I freeze the Strawberry Jam?
You can. I have never tried freezing it since this recipe is for a small batch. But if you want to make a big batch and want to freeze it then you can. After the jam is cooked, pour it in the clean glass jars and do not fill to the top. Place the lids lightly. Cool it down to room temperature. Then tighten the lids and freeze. It will stay good for about 6 months.
How long does the jam stay good refrigerated?
16 ounce of jam will finish before you notice. But it will stay good for 2-3 weeks when refrigerated.
Can I thicken it like store made jam?
If you want more of the thick store bought jam kind of consistency, then thicken it with some corn flour slurry. Add it to the mashed down strawberry liquid and then simmer till it thickens. start with 1 tbsp corn flour dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water.
Why no pectin?
Strawberries have natural pectin in it so no need for that.
Can I make it sugar-free?
Although I have not tried the sugar-free version, but this is what you can do. Cook down the strawberries with lemon juice in IP and then as it starts bubbling, add the sugar substitute towards the end.

- Open the lid carefully once the safety pin drops down. Take a potato masher or a heavy ladle and mush that strawberry down. It will give you slightly chunky jam. But if you want very smooth jam then blend it with immersion blender. Now saute it on high for 5-7 minutes till it thickens. It will continue to thicken as it cools down.

You mentioned using corn flour to thicken. Did you mean corn starch? Are they interchangeable?
Yes 🙂
This sounds incredible. I am going to make some of my favorite cookies to add it into- it needs a good jam (https://www.californiastrawberries.com/strawberry-chia-jam-thumbprint-cookies/)
