Who doesn’t love Strawberry Jam? One of my favorite childhood memories includes slathering freshly baked biscuits with homemade strawberry jam! It’s an understatement to say I love this gooey red treat! My favorite version, which includes some cranberries is my Aunt’s Strawberry Cranberry Jam.
Tart, sweet and easy to make, this jam is so requested in my family that she gives it out for Christmas to keep us from pestering her year round!
The original recipe calls for white cane sugar, which due to my dietary restrictions these days I can no longer consume. However, that won’t stop me! I’ve made her classic recipe with honey instead. It’s a little more tart but just as delicious. Whip up a large batch of jam this summer while strawberries are still in season to enjoy all year long.

YUM! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Absolutely!!!! Family favorites are the best! <3
The recipe sounds good! Although, it looks like there is an error. It calls for 1 cup of honey but the directions say to stir in 1/2 cup.
Good eye!! My taste testers wanted it a bit sweeter so I added another half cup of honey from the original recipe! I will update it now! Thank you so much my friend for the constant love and support. It means a lot to me. <3
