Step 2: Sprinkle appropriate amount of sugar on the strawberry;

Step 3: close the sealed lid, shake the sealed jar up and down, so that the sugar is evenly attached to the strawberry, and then put it in the refrigerator overnight;

Step 4: after cold storage, the moisture in the strawberry will seep out, and then you can go on to the next step;

Step 5: put all the strawberries together with the oozing water into the pot and stir fry them over high heat; (enamel pot or stainless steel pot can be used instead of iron pot)

Step 6: stir fry until the strawberries are soft, and then slowly dry over medium heat;

Step 7: when stir fry to a thick state, turn off the heat, add lemon juice, stir well, and the jam is ready;

Materials required:

Fresh strawberries: 300g

Lemon juice: 20g

Fine granulated sugar: 180g

Note: 1, strawberries need to be cut first, and pickled with sugar until water exudes, and then stir fry to make a good jam. Pickling time if you can reach 24 hours, the effect will be better, if you can't wait, three hours is OK. 2. Because if the strawberry is fried for a long time, the color will turn black, so try to use a large pot with a wide mouth when frying, so that the water can volatilize faster, instead of using a narrow mouth milk pot and other pots. 3. Strawberry jam is rich in sugar and has a long shelf life. As long as the container is clean and sealed, the strawberry can be stored in the refrigerator for several months. A container for jam. Boil it in boiling water and let it dry. If you reduce the sugar in the formula, it will also reduce the shelf life of the jam. 4. Lemon juice is helpful for pectin extraction and utilization, so add a little lemon juice into the formula. You can use fresh lemon juice squeezed on the spot, or you can use commercially available lemon juice concentrate. 5. If you like the delicate feeling of jam, you can stir fry the jam, cool it in the air and smash it with a cooking machine. I like the feeling of flesh, so I didn't do it. 6. How to clean strawberries correctly: first, wash strawberries with tap water continuously. The flowing water can avoid the penetration of pesticides into the fruits. After washing, soak strawberries with light salt water or rice washing water for 5 minutes to remove the residual harmful microorganisms and pesticides on the surface of strawberries. In addition, when washing strawberries, be careful not to remove the strawberry pedicels. If the pedicled strawberries are soaked in water, the residual pesticides will enter the fruit with the water, causing more serious pollution. Do not use detergent and other cleaning agents to soak strawberry, these substances are difficult to clean, easy to remain in the fruit, causing secondary pollution.
