Can I make strawberry jam without pectin?
Yes. Pectin does not have a conservative role in jam so you do not have to use it. It only helps the jam thicken faster. So, if you do not want to use pectin, then you should cook jam longer or use other thickeners such as cornstarch, agar, gelatin etc.
Are strawberries high in pectin?
Like all other berries, strawberries are not high in pectin and need some thickeners or to be cooked for a longer time to set.
