Description

Use frozen strawberries, sweetener, and lemon juice to create this easy, delicious jam that's pectin-free.

Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries
3 squeezes lemon juice
1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®), or to taste

Directions

1 Place strawberries in a pot over low heat; add lemon juice. Mash with a potato masher as strawberries thaw. Stir in sweetener when strawberries are the consistency of your liking.
2 Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until reduced and thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
3 While jam cooks, place a small plate in the freezer.
4 Put a small amount of jam on the cold plate and run your finger straight through, dividing it in half. If the mixture runs back together, continue to cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more; if it stays divided, jam is ready to serve.
