Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) Strawberries
- 500 grams (1.1 lb) Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Butter (optional)
- ½ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Prepare - Place two small ceramic plates in the freezer for testing the jam later. Wash, hull, and roughly chop the strawberries.
- Combine - Add the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir well. If time permits, let the mixture sit for 30 minutes so the strawberries begin releasing their juices.1 kg Strawberries, 500 grams Sugar, 1 tbsp Lemon juice, ½ tsp Salt
- Cook - Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the strawberries release plenty of juice.
- Boil - Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer.
- Thicken - Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the jam from catching on the bottom. Mash the strawberries as they soften for a smoother jam, or leave some pieces intact for a chunkier texture.
- Test the set - Spoon a teaspoon of jam onto a frozen plate. Wait 1 to 2 minutes, then push it gently with your finger. If it wrinkles and doesn't immediately flow back together, the jam is ready. If not, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes and test again.
- Finish - Remove from the heat. Stir in the optional butter to help disperse foam, or skim any foam from the surface.1 tsp Butter
- Jar - Carefully ladle the hot jam into clean, warm jars. Cool, cover, and refrigerate.
