Strawberry Jam


I m soooooo happy and surprised that i made this jam.I mean making jam at home was never in my dreams,seriously.But after this attempt i m definitely going to make jams more often.Its so easy and no preservatives.

 
I accidentally happened to see this recipe and it required just three ingredients.Since its strawberry season now i had strawberries in my fridge also.After all we have to make the best use of seasonal fruits,isn't it?;).So more strawberry recipes on the way.



The result was awesome,just awesome,that's it. .Go ahead..make your batch and get surprised by the homemade magic:)
