I make this homemade strawberry jam every May! ♥ It keeps for ages, so it's perfect for gifts too!
Ingredients
1 servings- Strawberries2165g
- Sugar650g (30% of strawberries)
- Lemon juice (or citric acid)From 2 lemons (to taste)
Directions
90 min- 1
Handle the strawberries gently without washing them. Remove the hulls and place them in a pot. Sprinkle 650g of sugar over the surface and lightly crush. If you prefer a whole fruit texture, let sit for 2 hours before cooking.
- 2
Once the pot comes to a boil, add the lemon juice from 2 lemons (or citric acid to taste) and simmer over medium heat. You can stir occasionally, but you don't need to remove the scum that rises.
- 3
After simmering for about 30 minutes, the scum will naturally disappear. Perform a jam test and once it reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat. If using less fruit, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- 4
While the jam is still hot, transfer it to sterilized storage jars that have been boiled beforehand.
- 5
Close the lids loosely and place the entire jars in boiling water for about 1 minute to sterilize.
- 6
While still hot, seal the lids tightly and invert the jars to cool. The jam can be stored at room temperature for over 3 years.
Tips
Handle the strawberries gently without washing. The jam is ready when the scum naturally disappears during simmering. Adjust the sugar amount according to the sweetness of the strawberries. A minimum of 30% sugar is needed for proper preservation.
