Strawberry Jam

Jam created with healthy fruit chunks can help lower your risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular disorders. Jam contains most of the nutritional advantages of fruit, including heart-healthy, cancer-fighting antioxidants. Strawberries also have a high fiber, folic acid, and potassium content. These aid in reducing cholesterol, reducing high blood pressure, the balance of electrolytes in the body, and maintaining agile muscles.

Strawberry jam is made simply by boiling the flesh and juice of a strawberry; no pectin is necessary. The mixture is cooked with sugar until pectin is released and a jelly shape is formed.
