Strawberry jam is a sweetened spread made by cooking crushed or chopped strawberries with sugar, pectin, and typically an acid (like lemon juice) until it thickens. It consists of fruit pulp and pieces, resulting in a soft, spreadable consistency that is less firm than jelly but often thicker and more fruit-filled than preserves.
