Strawberry Balsamic Refrigerator Jam

Strawberry Balsamic Refrigerator Jam

1 tsp. lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1 lb. strawberries, stems removed and roughly chopped (good use for overripe berries)
1/3 C. sugar to 1/2 C., depends on sweetness of your strawberries
1 tsp. aged balsamic vinegar

Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, strawberries, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. It will look really watery at first, but it will start to thicken up as it reduces. Once you have the thickness you want, reduce the heat to medium and add the balsamic vinegar. Cook for 3 more minutes, then place your jam in a clean glass container. Refrigerate, and spread on biscuits, toast, or whatever you’d like. Enjoy!
