Soy Free Strawberry Honey Jam
Bright, jammy, and sweetened entirely with honey, this strawberry spread is the kind of thing you'll want to keep a jar of in the fridge at all times. Store-bought jams are notorious for sneaking in unexpected additives, but this one is refreshingly straightforward — just fresh or frozen strawberries, lemon, honey, and a touch of arrowroot starch to bring it all together. The arrowroot slurry is a clever finishing move that thickens the jam quickly and gives it a gorgeous glossy sheen without any grain or cloudiness. Lemon juice and zest brighten the natural sweetness of the strawberries, keeping the flavor lively rather than cloying. You can mash the fruit to whatever texture you like — leave it rustic and chunky or go smooth and spreadable, depending on your mood. Once it cools and sets in the jar, it's ready to go on toast, swirled into yogurt, or spooned straight from the fridge when no one is watching.

Use a potato masher or fork to crush the strawberries to your preferred texture — a few larger pieces left in gives a rustic jam, or mash thoroughly for a smoother spread.
