For the best flavor, use ripe, locally sourced strawberries during their peak season. If you prefer a smoother jam, you can use an immersion blender to puree the strawberries before adding the other ingredients. Be sure to use instant pectin, as other types of pectin may require cooking. To test if the jam has set properly, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If it gels up within a minute or two, it's ready.
