Well, this is August and this is definitely not the official strawberry season. But nature has its own way to shower love. One of my friend’s garden strawberry bushes gave a bountiful of harvest early this month. She has some of those year-round varieties that just keep producing. Here is a good article on growing strawberries. She was generous enough to leave a huge basket of strawberries on my porch. #socialdistancing

Notes

• If your instant pot has a sterilizing function, I recommend you to sterilize your jars before storing condiments in them.
• You can use the same process to make blueberry jam or a mixture of strawberry and blueberry jam.
• If you do not want to use swerve, you can use sugar or agave syrup in this recipe. All these options give equally satisfying results.
