Small Batch Fresh Strawberry Jam image

This is a quickly prepared jam that calls for smaller amounts of fruit and sugar. Cooking it in a wide pan speeds up the gelling process so no pectin is needed. The jam has a soft set, a bright color and a full fruit flavor. Perfect for spooning over toast but it may not be stiff enough for a peanut butter sandwich. This came from a newspaper article. This uses only 3 cups of sliced strawberries which is about 1 1/2 pints or 4 cups of whole berries.
