Description

Strawberry fruit jam is a sweet, spreadable preserve made by cooking crushed or chopped ripe strawberries with sugar and, often, a little lemon juice. It has a luscious, ruby-red color and a rich, fruity flavor. 

Key Characteristics
Texture: It can have a soft, even consistency or contain real fruit pieces (often labeled as “chunky” or “whole fruit” jam). It’s thick enough to hold its shape somewhat but remains easy to spread.
Taste: The flavor profile is a balance of the natural sweetness of the strawberries and a slight tartness, which is often enhanced by the addition of lemon juice.
Ingredients: The primary ingredients are strawberries, a sweetener (sugar or an alternative), and an acid (lemon juice), which helps activate the fruit’s natural pectin to gel the mixture. Pectin may also be added to aid the setting process.
Versatility: Strawberry jam is a popular breakfast accompaniment, commonly used as a spread on toast, bread, scones, or pancakes. It is also a versatile ingredient in baking, used as a filling for cakes, tarts, and pastries, or as a topping for yogurt and ice cream.
