strawberry jam recipe

Making your own strawberry jam is easy with 3 simple ingredients, and you can adjust the taste of this strawberry jam recipe to your preference. My family loves the jam to be soft & easy spread, with mild sweetness and a little lemony. This is the recipe if you prefer your jam to be this way too. The best part is, this strawberry jam recipe has no added gelatin and pectin.

3 weeks ago, I received a few boxes of strawberries and was too fascinating about them. They are fresh from the farm, from our local famous highland retreats Cameron Highland. Keeping strawberries fresh in our climate is not easy, they freshness gets deteriorated easily if they were not refrigerated within a few hours. In order to finish them quick enough before they turned to rot, I made some strawberry jams besides eating them as fruits and dessert.

My daughter told me that my jam taste just like the store-bought jam but with more fragrance. She is right, that’s because I used rock sugar instead of normal white sugar.

Fresh Strawberries – 350 gram
White Rock Sugar (smashed) or white sugar – 180 gram

Sterilized Glass Jar with lid – 8 oz.

Add back the strawberries when the consistency is right and stir until it is boiled and mixed well.
Skim foam and pour the jam into a sterilized glass jar. Seal the lid after it has cooled down.
Keep in the fridge for a longer serving date.

Note:
If the strawberry is sour, reduce the lemon juice and add a little more sugar.
If you prefer to have tangy lemony strawberry jam, add more lemon juice.
If you like smooth strawberry jam without the chunks, cook all of them until they all dissolved.

Spread the jam onto the bread for a quick kick-start morning breakfast!!! I find that spreading jam with a teaspoon is easier and faster, it is just my way πŸ™‚ Hope you like this recipe and the method to make your own homemade strawberry jam.
