Wheat Free Strawberry Honey Jam
Bright, jammy, and sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar, this strawberry spread is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Store-bought jams can be a minefield for anyone avoiding wheat, since thickeners and additives sometimes sneak in where you least expect them. Here, arrowroot starch does the thickening work beautifully — it's completely grain-free and gives the finished jam a gorgeous glossy sheen without any of the worry. Fresh lemon juice and zest cut through the sweetness and make the strawberry flavor pop in the best way. You control the texture too, whether you prefer a rustic, chunky spread or something smoother and more refined. It comes together on the stovetop with just a handful of real ingredients, then firms up perfectly in the fridge. Slather it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or spoon it straight from the jar — no judgment here.

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.
