Chunky Strawberry Basil Jam

written by STEPH July 14, 2014

I love this versatile Chunky Strawberry Basil Jam!  It’s a fresh jam with wonderful flavors of the strawberries and basil.  It’s fantastic on buttered toast, topped with Greek yogurt or ice cream or any other ways you can come up with.

Strawberries are everywhere right now, especially where we live!   It truly is strawberry fields forever around these parts!  Robby brought home a half flat that he picked up from a local organic vendor on the side of the road, so I decided to make this lovely jam that I know you will want to make.  It is way too easy not to!

This sauce goes great with a nice bubbly Prosecco or Ang’s Strawberry Thyme Mimosa.

Health Benefits:

Strawberries are packed with nutrients and antioxidants. Just one cup gives you 100 percent.” of the daily value of Vitamin C which is a great immune buster, helps improve the eyes and it produces collagen in the skin, which helps keep wrinkles at bay. The antioxidants and phytochemicals also help to reduce joints inflammation. They are high potassium and fiber making them great for your heart.

Fresh Basil has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.  The herb contains exceptionally high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin A and is rich in zeaxanthin an anti-oxidant that helps protect age-related macular disease.  It has a good amount of Iron and also helps to detoxify the liver.  It contains phytochemicals that may lower cortisol, a hormone secreted when you’re stressed that causes weight gain, so add some fresh basil to your water or tea.
