preserves without pectin

Made by hundreds of you over the years, my small batch Homemade Strawberry Preserves are sweet, intensely fruit-forward, and require just 3 simple ingredients. Serve on biscuits, toast with butter, or drizzled lovingly on your favorite desserts! Made without pectin or preservatives. Gluten-free, dairy-free.

3-Ingredient Strawberry Preserves (No Pectin!)

strawberries (hulled)

sugar

lemon

Slice strawberries so all pieces are approximately the same size. For some strawberries, this will mean cutting in half, and for other larger berries they may need to be quartered.

Place strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium sauce pan, then bring to a rapid boil over medium heat.

Stir occasionally with a spatula, helping to break up and mash the strawberries as you go. Check consistency of preserves after 20 minutes to check for doneness.

To test whether strawberry preserves are ready: dip a spoon into the sauce pan, then pull it out and run your finger along the back. If there is a clear path and the jam doesn&#039;t re-cover the spoon, it&#039;s done!

To store: remove preserves from the heat and pour into glass jars. Wipe the rim, cover and seal, then allow to cool completely before storing in refrigerator until needed.

I will not be buying store bought strawberry jam EVER again!  I used frozen sliced strawberries, it took a little bit longer, but oh MAN is this GOOD!!!  Will be making once this is gone, which by the way it tasted, won't be long!  I made it to put on top of cheesecake and toast.  Thank you!

I love this recipe! It’s my 3rd time making it and my son and husband just devour the preserves instantly. I’ve been adding alittle rose 🌹 water that I bought at an international market and it’s adds a delightful yet delicate flavor. Thank you so much. Eventually I’ll broaden out into trying this with some other fruits like blueberries 🫐 and maybe even orange 🍊 with some rosemary water for a little twist ☺️

Amazing, simple, and delicious recipe! I have made this twice already because it is that good!

Made these preserves to put on some homemade biscuits! They taste amazing and so easy. Definitely better than store bought.

I’ve made these preserves a few times to enjoy with toast and they are so good! I love the intensity of the strawberry flavor and that I don’t have to worry about pectin. Highly recommend!
