Instant Pot® Strawberry Lime Jam
Equipment
- Measuring Cup
- Measuring Spoon
- Cutting Board
- Paring Knife
- Small Bowl
- Small Stirring Spoon
- Jam jar
- Rubber Spatula or Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Strawberries
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut each berry into quarters.
- Place the strawberries in the instant pot along with the sugar, lime zest and lime juice. Stir together to coat the strawberries in the sugar mix.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot® and set the pressure valve to “seal”. Press the ‘Manual’ button and make sure the pressure is set to high ( a light should come on indicating that the pressure is high). Set the timer for 1 minute. Once the timer is done, let the Instant Pot® naturally release the steam for 15 minutes. Open the steam valve and allow the remaining pressure to escape.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until a smooth paste is formed. Add the cornstarch mix to the strawberries in the Instant pot and then press the “saute” button.
- With the lid off, allow the strawberry mix to come to a full boil, stirring often. The jam will begin to thicken as you stir. Once nice and thick like jelly, pour it into a container and use whenever you’d like! You can also opt to freeze the jam for a later date- a great way to preserve summer in a jar!
