Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar Note 1
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare the strawberries:
- Slice the strawberries and place them in inner pot of your Instant Pot along with sugar and lemon juice. Mix well and let it sit for 30 minutes to macerate.
- In 30 minutes, the mixture will be saucy and with plenty of liquid to turn on the Instant Pot without adding any water.
Pressure cook the jam:
- Set the Instant Pot for only 1 minute on high pressure, followed by natural pressure release, leaving it untouched to let all the pressure come out naturally, about 20 minutes.
- Once the pressure pin drops, carefully open the lid. Jam will be super liquid-y, but don’t worry, it’s totally normal.
- Hit “CANCEL” button and then set it to “SAUTE”. Cook the jam, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes or until the jam is nicely thickened.
- Pour into a clean jar and cool completely. The jam will thicken more as it cools.
