I am not much a breakfast person, I mean, I love breakfast, but growing up in Malaysia, breakfast means nasi lemak, prawn noodles, mee siam, or other street food. Even though I have been in the US for almost 15 years, I haven’t quite acquired the habit of having cereal, bacon, or scrambled eggs for breakfast. So, I often skip breakfast, which is totally not healthy for me…
Recently, I have started to incorporate healthy breakfast into my daily routine—milk, toast, muffins, and fresh fruits. I even made some French toast. Yesterday, LK got me a box of fresh and sweet strawberries and I made some of them into this beautiful and tasty strawberry jam.
Making strawberry jam is really quite easy and you need only a few ingredients, but the end result is so much better than the bottled ones you get at stores. Everything is just better when you make it from scratch.
Here is my strawberry jam recipe for your reference. If you like strawberry cake, you can get the strawberry cake recipe on my other site, Gourmand Recipes.

Banana Pancakes Recipe
Once in a while, I like making healthy breakfasts, for example, banana pancakes with maple syrup, topped with my favorite berries. Nothing beats waking up and having a feel-good breakfast that is loaded with all the nutrition one needs for the rest of the day–protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and more. I am not a big fan of traditional pancakes; I…
Blueberry Muffins Recipe
On my recent flight back from Asia, I read a very interesting article about 10 superfoods that one should integrate into the daily diet: garlic, tofu, mushrooms, blueberries, kale, flaxseed, beans, carrots, tomatoes, and strawberries. These foods are referred to as “immune boosters” by the author, a MD and medical director of a cancer treatment center. Earlier this year, I…
Malaysian Banana Pancakes with Lemon Coconut Curd
I have said it many times. I am constantly amazed by the many talented Malaysian bloggers living overseas. Thanks to Almost Bourdain, I recently discovered yet another beautiful blog authored by Steph, a Malaysian currently living in Sydney—Raspberri Cupcakes. As the name suggests, Raspberri Cupcakes is mostly about baking, cupcakes, and desserts, a department which I am pretty much useless….
Oyster Recipe: Baked Oysters
I love shellfish so it goes without saying that I love oysters. Oysters are plentiful and affordable in the United States. We’re blessed with fresh, live, big, fat, and succulent oysters all year long from the east coast and west coast. I would be sharing more oyster recipes if I don’t have to shuck them. To me, shucking oyster is…

Wow, your pictures of the strawberries and the strawberry jam look very good, like straight out of the magazine. I love it. The jam looks really fresh and yummy!
Rob – thanks.
Wow, gorgeous, just gorgeous. I don’t think I’ve ever seem jam so pretty before, now I’m hungry for toast and jam.
You are too funny. Thanks!
Nothing can be simpler than your strawberry jam recipe. But your photos are just WOW. Jaw-dropping.
Divina – thanks so much for your nice word about my strawberry jam pictures.
It’s almost summer here as well so the strawberry season is in full swing! May I ask how long this jam will keep in the fridge?
I am not sure actually but for sure a few days. It’s so great that you don’t have to worry about not finishing it up. It will be gone in no time.
Thanks for that, maybe a batch of scones will help use it up! :) Cheers
I bet, scones with strawberry jam, yummy!
I made strawberry jam last week also. Yours looks wonderful.
Great, I am sure it was great.
I am new on your blog, I come from Tadty Kitchen, I wrote “Irvine” where I plan to go in Feb and found your profile and your blog !
What a good surprise for me who like japanese food !
I’ll be back soon !
Valerie, Belgium.
That’s great that you found my blog. :)
TaSty and not Tadty ;)
I’m with you! I’m not a big American breakfast person either…having that kind of food doesn’t sit well with me in the morning. When we moved to Japan, I fell in love with having rice, fish, miso soup, etc. for breakfast, and still tend to eat along those lines here in the US.
Yes, to me, American breakfast is boring. Asian breakfasts are so much better and there are so many choices!
I have to believe that even most North Americans aren’t really big on the “American” breakfast! I was born in Canada, and bacon, eggs, and most other “breakfast” foods (except toast and granola, I suppose, since they’re pretty easy in the morning) are kept for a few special occasions during the year.
No choices but bacon and eggs every day was one of the nightmares of university residence breakfasts.
So pretty! You make strawberry jam look refreshing and new!
Alta – thanks for your note.
Such luscious pictures! There are still a *few* strawberries in our farmer’s market in New York; I’m tempted to follow your lead and make a little jam.
Maggie – you should totally make some strawberry jam. :)
Looks too good! Very enticing!
And it’s okay that you skip breakfast… I sometimes do it too! I think we both need to nag each other about eating breakfast. :)
Oh, if we were neighbors… I’d exchange freshly baked New York-Style bagels for a couple jars of your jam. I’ve got some jam that I made a couple weeks ago, but for some reason it’s disappearing rather quickly…
Great post Bee! :)
