Jam Ingredients

Method

Jam Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into quarters.

  2. 2

    Cook the Strawberries

    In a large saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar and Pectin

    Stir in the granulated sugar and pectin. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Boil and Thicken

    Once boiling, continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Jar the Jam

    Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids.

  6. 6

    Cool and Store

    Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The jam can be enjoyed for up to 3 weeks.
