I come up with strawberry jam as I promised
in my previous post. Jams and Kids are best friends, who hesitate or hate to
eat their breakfast or dinner, jam will be helpful to their moms to full the little
tummy, isn't? Not only kids, adults also love jam. We used to buy Kissan jams
from stores, but this time I got fresh organic strawberries, so thought of
making the jam.
I was worried that, making jam is not that
much easier and am sure its very easy to prepare and you can enjoy the flavor of
strawberries exact well. I die-hard fan of strawberries as you know already,
the jam perfect for my cravings…J The strawberries are bit tangy in taste so, the jam taste will be both
slight tangy and sweet we really enjoyed the jam with bread, poori and even
with dosa… J

INGREDIENTS
Fresh Strawberries – 200g
Sugar – ½ Cup
Lemon juice – 2 Tsp
METHOD
- Wash and hull the strawberries, and then finely chopped the berries.
- Add the berries, sugar and lemon juice together in sauce pan.
- Keep it on medium-high flame and mix it well.
- When it starts boil, you can see foam and then keep the flame on low level.
- Let it cook for 15 minutes and stir it up in between.
- Meanwhile, keep a small plate in the freezer.
- Now the fruit mixture will become thickens, so have to check up the consistency.
- Take out the plate from freezer, add small drops of jam into the plate and it will not be runny. (Refer the pictures)
- Cool it and then store it in an air-tight sterilized container/Jar.
NOTE
- You can crush the berries instead of chopping.
- Consistency is very important, if you let the jam in the pan for long time it will be very hard while cool, so take it out at the desired consistency.
- Sterilize the storage container before storing it, (Boil water and then put the containers and lids into it and wait for 10-15 minutes and then drain the jars)
- Use dry spoons each time.
