Strawberry Jam Recipe

Strawberry Jam is tasty and makes a good spread with bread toast. Sharing a strawberry jam recipe which has only three ingredients and no added pectin.

Home made jams are tasty and have no added preservative. With strawberries around, I wanted to make jam since a long time. The time did come at last, last week  for my Homemade Strawberry Jam.

My weekly fruits are purchased on Sunday, thus the whole lot of fruits I separate, wash and keep them in the refrigerator. My sonny boy is not here these days and no one really eats this fruit. It is used as topping for desserts, thus I wash, dry and deep freeze them and use accordingly.

Thus, the strawberries used here are frozen ones. I made the pulp, added sugar and kept aside for a couple hours.

The benefits of strawberries I did write in my earlier post.

How to store strawberries :

Once you bring the strawberries, remove them from the plastic containers, they rot easily. Wash them, remove the stalks, put them in a colander for sometime. Pat dry and keep them in a bowl in the refrigerator. Strawberries are seasonal and available only for two months. To preserve for a longer time, put them in a freezer safe container and store in the deep freezer. Use as required.

  • 250 grams strawberry
  • 1 cup sugar (1 cup =125ml)
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice

Method:

  1. Keep three plates in the freezer.
  2. Wash the jar and allow it to dry. It is essential the jar is clean. You can also sterlize by putting in the hot water.
  3. Make puree of the frozen strawberry, add sugar and keep it aside for 3-4 hours. If you are using fresh strawberry, cut them, add sugar and keep it aside. Make the pulp later.
  4. Put the pulp in a pan and set it to boil. Keep stirring. In ten minutes it will be done. Add the lime juice and give a stir.
  5. To check if it is done, take a plate from the freezer and put a drop on. If it spreads, you need to cook it for some more time.
  6. Store in the bottle.

I love to make jam at home and try and take advantage of seasonal fruits. Strawberry jam is one of my families favorite and we too love it exactly like yours with chunky pieces in it. I think the tricky bit is getting the consistency right for setting, but the drop test on a plate is a really useful one.
