This simple strawberry jam is made with only two ingredients: strawberries and maple syrup. Be sure to start with super sweet berries and then let the jam gently simmer down until it’s a rich, deep red color. When stored in jars, this jam will keep for two weeks in your fridge. You can also freeze it in small batches for enjoying later. It’s delicious paired with my easy crepe recipe or homemade banana pancakes.
