Instructions

Mix together lemon juice and strawberries and set aside.
In a small saucepot, add cold water and agar agar flakes. Wait one minutes without stirring to allow agar flakes to absorb water. Bring agar agar and water to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until agar is completely dissolved.
Add honey to agar agar-water mix and stir until dissolved. Scrape down sides of pot with a heat resistant spatula.
Pour the agar mixture slowly into the fruit, stirring as you add it. (Do not pour fruit into agar mix.) Stir until well-mixed. Taste and add more honey, if desired. Pour into sanitized jars or freeze containers, leaving ¾ inch headspace. Cover jars and label with date and contents.
Store in refrigerator and use within three weeks. For longer storage, cool in refrigerator for 10 hours, then store in the freezer. Thaw jam in the refrigerator before use.
