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.
Strawberry Jam Recipe
Ingredients:
- 250 grams strawberry
- 1 cup sugar (1 cup =125ml)
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
Method:
- Keep three plates in the freezer.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Store in the bottle.
