Ingredients

  • 1 lb strawberries (hulled and quartered)

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Instant Pot: Turn the Instant Pot on to the saute function to begin warming the pot.
  2. Add Honey: Pour in the honey and stir continuously until it starts to bubble gently.
  3. Add Strawberries: Add the hulled and quartered strawberries to the instant pot with the bubbling honey.
  4. Simmer Honey and Strawberries: Allow the honey and strawberries to bubble together, observing the mixture turning a pink color.
  5. Coat Berries: Lightly stir to ensure the strawberries are fully coated with the honey mixture.
  6. Secure Lid: Turn off the saute function and secure the Instant Pot lid in place to prepare for pressure cooking.
  7. Pressure Cook: Set the Instant Pot to Manual mode at HIGH pressure for 1 minute to cook the fruit thoroughly.
  8. Quick Release: Perform a quick pressure release by carefully releasing the steam.
  9. Mix Cornstarch Slurry: Remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid from the pot and stir in the cornstarch until fully dissolved.
  10. Thicken Jam: Turn the Instant Pot back to saute mode and whisk the cornstarch slurry into the strawberry mixture.

  12. Cool Jam: Turn off the Instant Pot and allow the jam to cool completely to let it set.
  13. Store: Transfer the cooled jam to a small mason jar and refrigerate.
  14. Serve & Enjoy: The jam lasts up to 2 weeks when refrigerated, perfect for spreading on toast or using as a dessert topping.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Honey acts as a natural sweetener and preserves the jam, but you can adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Be cautious with the quick release step to avoid any steam burns.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, mash the strawberries slightly before cooking.
  • The jam thickens further as it cools, so avoid overcooking during the saute step.
  • Store jam in a sterilized mason jar to extend freshness.
