    Homemade Strawberry Jam Recipe for Toddlers and Kids
    I love jams, especially homemade ones. Making a jam at home is very easy, and It tastes a way better than store-bought ones which are loaded with preservatives.

    My mom used to prepare a variety of jams using seasonal vegetables or fruits at home. This time I tried my hands with strawberries! Do make this strawberry jam when berries are in season and am sure you will love it! You could consume few teaspoons of this homemade strawberry jam with whole wheat bread, idli, dosa, or even roti.

    You can introduce strawberries to your baby around 10-12 months, for more details on the health benefits of strawberries and how to add strawberries to your baby, check here.

    Let's get on to check how to make this homemade strawberry jam recipe.

    Notes :

    • Use a clean jar to store the jam. If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest sterilizing the glass jars.
    • Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down after cooling down, if no water separated then its the correct consistency for a jam.
    • The quantity of the sweetener depends on the sourness of strawberries.
    • You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar/powdered jaggery.
    • You can blend the strawberries completely smooth or little mashed. It's entirely your preference.
    • This strawberry jam becomes little thick after cooling down so switch it off the flame accordingly. Don't overcook.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume within a couple of weeks. But it keeps well for a month if handled correctly.
    • Sugar is not recommended for babies below one year.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
