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.
