INGREDIENTS FOR HOMEMADE JAM
For this recipe, all you need is just a handful of simple ingredients! This recipe doesn't call for much which is why we love it so much. You can get most of these items at your local grocery store.
- Strawberries (freshly sliced strawberries)
- Dates (pitted and quartered)
- Coconut Sugar (a healthy alternative to refined sugar)
- Tejari Organic Beets and Carrots Blend (rich in beta carotene, plant-based protein, red reishi, and other vital organic nutrients and superfoods)
- Lemon juice (one)
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEETS?
Benefits are loaded with vitamin C, fiber, and other key nutrients such as potassium and iron. Beets are also high in antioxidants which are great for detoxifying the body!
IS COCONUT SUGAR BETTER THAN SUGAR?
Yes! Since regular sugar is highly processed and bleached, we prefer a healthier alternative such as coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is not as sweet and is less processed.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EATING DATES?
Dates are naturally high in fiber, iron, and other essential nutrients. Naturally sweetened, dates are the perfect option if you're wanting to sweeten up your recipe.

FAQs
IS HOMEMADE JAM HEALTHY?
We think so! Homemade jam doesn't contain all of the artificial ingredients and sugar like store jams do plus we added our high-quality superfood protein powder to this jam.
HOW DO YOU THICKEN JAM NATURALLY?
To thicken jam, you would just not mash the strawberries all the way. Leave chunks of strawberries in the jam if you prefer.
