strawberry jam

Red toast topper

Strawberry jam is a sweet spread made by cooking strawberries with sugar until thickened.

It's among the most popular fruit preserves, used on toast, in pastries, and as a filling: She spread strawberry jam on her English muffin.

The term sometimes appears in British rhyming slang, where strawberry jam means tram.
