One of the best things about cheesecake is the endless possibilities when it comes to toppings. While traditional cheesecake is delicious on its own, adding a topping can take it to the next level. One of our favorite toppings for cheesecake is strawberry jam. Not only does it add a nice pop of color, but the sweet and tangy flavors of the jam perfectly complement the creamy cheesecake.
How to make strawberry jam
To make the strawberry jam topping, you will need:
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juice and the mixture comes to a simmer.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. Slowly add the mixture to the saucepan and stir until the jam thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the jam cool completely before spooning it over the cheesecake.
When it comes to serving and storing the cake. Best practice is to let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. You can store your home-made cake in your refrigerator for up to 3 days but we recommend eating it within the first 24 hours for best texture.
