Equipment

Ingredients

4 cups stemmed and quartered strawberries
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
1/2 apple peeled and small dice

Instructions

Wash berries thoroughly and then stem and core.
Add berries to a large bowl and add sugar and vanilla bean paste. Stir to combine.
Let the strawberry mixture sit for 45 minutes or until the berries are juicy and the sugar has dissolved.
Add strawberries with all their juices and the chopped apple to a medium-sized pot and set over medium heat.
Simmer for 30 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. The mixture will start out VERY watery but this is normal.
Gently mash the berries and cook for about 15 minutes longer or until you have reached your desired jam-like consistency.
Cool jam and store in a clean mason jar or another airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Notes

2 vanilla bean pods scraped can be used in place of vanilla bean paste.
This jam is NOT canned so please make sure to store refrigerated and eat within the time frame given.
