Strawberry-Raspberry Jam

Homemade jam is just great! We love to make our own jam, it is just way more delicious compared to the processed products you can find at the super market. Processed jam is typically packed with sugar and additives that enhances flavor and preserve it. However, we do not believe all these additives are necessary. This recipe for homemade strawberry and raspberry jam only consist of four different ingredient; which is strawberry, raspberry, some sugar and the seeds from a vanilla bean. All very simple and easy-to-find ingredients.

Making homemade jam is actually very easy and requires minimal of work. All the ingredients are simply just poured into a small sauce pan and boiled for about 30-40 minutes - and that is it! We often make the jam Friday evening, then we have fresh and super delicious jam for our weekend breakfast.
