Notes/Tips
I made the unsweetened strawberry jam by combining 3 TBSP instant pectin and 1 lb of (thawed, but cold) frozen strawberries in the food processor. I then allowed it to refrigerate overnight before using it in this recipe.While these look like a sweet treat, without any sweetener they can be a guilt-free breakfast or enjoyed anytime.
