Ninja Foodi Strawberry Jam

It's that time of year!  It's STRAWBERRY season!  Woo hoo!!  You know what that means???  It's time to make strawberry jam.  In all honesty, I had never made jam or even thought of doing it until Luis said....hey...I think we should make some strawberry jam.  Ummm...ok.  Let's do that!  So we did.  You guys.....it....was.....so...EASY!  Why have we not made jam before??  This changes everything!  The ingredients are simple, the process is super easy and the result is spectacular!

If you can wash and cut strawberries, you can make strawberry jam.  There is nothing complicated or difficult about this recipe.  Nothing......anyone can make this.

In the past when people have mentioned that they made their own jam I thought they were fancy...who makes their own jam???  Well, let me tell you, I am fancy now!

Tips for making Ninja Foodi Strawberry Jam:

1. Don't panic if your jam looks very runny.  It's supposed to.  It will continue to thicken as it cools. But, remember that this is jam, not jelly.  Jam is not as "jiggly" as jelly.  You should be able to easily smear your jam on a piece of toast.  If you want a thicker consistency, I would recommend adding an additional 2 tablespoons of corn starch.
2. What berries are in season?  Use those in your next jam recipe!  The possibilities are endless!!!!
3. Get creative with how you use your homemade jam!  Pour it on top of cheesecake or ice cream or add it to yogurt or oatmeal.

How to make Ninja Foodi Strawberry Jam:

Wash strawberries, remove leaves/stem and cut in quarters

1. Pour strawberries into Ninja Foodi insert pot
2. Add sugar and lemon juice
3. Stir together and let rest for about 10 minutes and then stir again
4. Close pressure cook lid and move valve to "seal" position
5. Turn Ninja Foodi on pressure cook and cook on high for 1 minute
6. Let pressure natural release for 15 minutes and then quick release remaining pressure
7. Turn off pressure cook function and open pressure cook lid
8. Turn on sauté function
9. Stir jam
10. Mix corn starch and water together in a mason jar.  Just add the ingredients, close lid and shake..shake...shake!
11. Once jam starts to boil, pour in corn starch mixture and stir continuously
12. Jam will start to thicken up.  Stir for 5-10 minutes
13. Turn off Ninja Foodi
14. Using a ladle, carefully ladle jam into a measuring cup or small pitcher.  The goal here is to get the jam into a container that you can easily pour it into the jars.  If you don't have a pitcher or measuring cup, you can just ladle the jam into the jars.  Be careful!  The jam will be VERY HOT!
15. Once jam has cooled, store in the refrigerator for up to 30 days.
