STRAWBERRY JAM

I had made my blueberry jam a while ago, and had some strawberries in the fridge. So I thought: why not make a strawberry jam?

This recipe, like the blueberry jam, is super easy and only takes 3 ingredients.

Recipe

Ingredients: 50g fresh strawberries 20g graulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

*I used much less sugar than specified in the recipe

Directions: 1. Wash the strawberries

2. Put the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice into a saucepan

3. Place the pan over a gentle heat to slowly dissolve the sugar crystals, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.

4. As the sugar starts to melt and the fruit warms up, take a potato masher to mash the strawberries, leaving some whole if desired.

5. Once the sugar has completely dissolved turn up the heat and bring the pan to a rolling boil and time for 15 minutes, stirring all the while.

6. Take the pan off the heat and test a few drops of the jam on a frozen saucer and place in the fridge for a minute. If when you push your finger through it the jam forms a crinkle and is gel like then it’s ready. Otherwise boil for another couple of minutes and repeat process until ready.

7. Pot up the jam in a sterilised hot jar using a small ladle or jam funnel.

8. Screw on lid.

9. Enjoy! :) I'd put in too much lemon juice so the jam turned out a bit sour for my taste. But its okay, its all about having fun and trial and error.

Till the next fruity jam I make! :)
