Strawberries are in season and they are deliciously inexpensive! Here’s a very easy and wonderful recipe for strawberry jam with balsamic vinegar. Very, very nice! Here is what you are going to need for this:
Place the mashed strawberries in a heavy pot. Whisk in the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and pectin. Mix well. Bring to a boil, on high heat, constantly stirring. Add the sugar all at once and ring back to a rolling boil. Stir jam constantly for one minute. Turn off heat. Remove foam
from the top of your jam. Bottle and process as per jar instructions.
Dress up jar with a pretty label and a checkered piece of cloth over the lid. Give out as a gift or simply enjoy it yourself!

Hi! The jam looks so delicious!
My dad is diabetic, so I was wondering if the sugar could be substituted with sweeteners? Or would that not work with jam?
Thank you!
