Homemade strawberry jam

Homemade strawberry jam

Introduction:

Production steps:

Step 1: materials for making strawberry jam.

Step 2: rinse the strawberries twice, soak them in light salt water for seven or eight minutes, then rinse them clean and drain the excess water.

Step 3: cut strawberries into small pieces. If you like the obvious pulp particles in the jam, you can cut them a little larger. In addition, during the boiling process, the pulp will become soft and small.

Step 4: add white sugar (like sweeter, you can add more white sugar), mix well and let it stand for half an hour (the temperature is too high to put it in the refrigerator).

Step 5: cut the lemon from one end and squeeze the juice into the strawberry.

Step 6: mix sugar, strawberry and lemon juice and marinate for half an hour. You will find that strawberry exudes a lot of juice.

Step 7: pour the strawberry pulp and juice into the pot, and then add a small amount of water (no, because the washed strawberry still has some water, I didn't add water).

Step 8: bring to a boil over a high heat, cook slowly over a low heat, and use a spoon to keep stirring when the water is nearly dry.

Step 9: strawberry pulp is soft and easy to cook. When the jam becomes sticky, it means pectin is released and the jam is almost cooked. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the juice and water are all wrapped together. Turn off the fire immediately. Put the pot away from the fire; cool the jam, put it in a bottle and refrigerate.

Materials required:

Strawberry: 500g

Sugar: 125g

Lemon: 1

Precautions: 1. Wash the jam bottle, scald it with boiling water or disinfect it with steam at high temperature, and then drain it naturally; 2. It's better to boil jam in stainless steel pot or non stick pot, and stir it with wooden spoon or shovel, which will not affect the color and quality of jam. Pots, spoons, shovels, jam bottles, and chopping boards for cutting strawberries should be clean and oil-free. 3. Clean, oil-free and waterless spoon should be used for each feeding.
