Strawberry & Passion Fruit Jam
When the strawberries are in season and they have this bright red color inside and are extra sweet I love making this simple strawberry passion fruit jam.
It is so easy to make and not sweet, it is 100 % pure and fresh strawberries flavor and the passion fruit makes it so special in flavor and makes it naturally thick. I also add a little fresh lemon juice both for flavor and so that the fresh strawberries don't burn in the bottom of the pan.
This jam is perfect on waffles, bread, or combine it with some whipped cream and you have a lovely summer dessert.
The best season to make this is when the strawberries are in season and they have this bright red color, they taste so much better, that said read my *note below if you are using frozen strawberries.

→For this recipe I used strawberries that are in season during the summer, that's why you get such a beautiful bright red color and they are extra sweet, You can however use frozen strawberries as these are often frozen at the peak of the season on the farm, and may actually taste better than using fresh strawberries that are in the store when it´s not berry season. If you are using frozen strawberries the strawberry &passion fruit jam is a bit runny when you made it, but will firm up a bit more after it has been in the refrigerator.
