Who doesn't like Strawberry Jam??!!! And if I talk about kids, I'm sure they crave for it anytime and every-time... :P Now let me tell you something very special about this super-yummy "Strawberry Jam / Spread"...
When you get a store-bought jar, it will contain more or less amount of pectin (gelatin, something that helps jams or jellies to set). But this recipe excludes it completely. Simmering crushed strawberries (or any other fruit of your choice) on lowest flame releases its own pectin to make it spreadable and rich in color!!!
Here you go with a recipe of very natural, easy and quick to make - "Strawberry Jam" :)
