Even though I could go to the farmer’s market and pick up some strawberry jam, or even buy it at the supermarket, I always choose to make it by myself. That way I am sure that I have bought the best strawberries, that are not sprayed with pesticides. Also, I can pronounce all the ingredients that I put in it. And most importantly, this strawberry jam always tastes MUCH BETTER than any store-bought stuff. 100% Guarantee!

With just a little patience, you will have THE BEST strawberry jam that everyone will love, especially your family.

Here are some tips to make the perfect strawberry jam

  • Use organic strawberries if possible, because most of the times they are treated with pesticides.
  • Always wash the fruits, even if they are pre-washed.
  • Make the jam as smooth or as chunky as you like.
  • If the „scum“ starts to form, you can remove it throughout the cooking process, but it will disappear as the jam cooks.
  • Pour the jam into warm sterilized jars while still hot. Fill the jars almost to the top, and put the lids on straight away.

This recipe does call for a larger amount of sugar, but it’s the sugar that is going to preserve it from going bad. You can keep this jam in your pantry for up to a year. I know for a fact that my Mom (from whom I’ve got this recipe) even has last year’s strawberry jam on her pantry shelf. That is because she makes lots of jams throughout the year in large amounts, so we don’t manage to eat them all. 🙂

Now let’s make the best strawberry jam ever.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2 lb) fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

  1. Wash strawberries and remove stems. Half and quarter larger ones.
  2. Place them in the cooking pot and add sugar.
  3. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring every once in a while. When the jam starts to boil, crash larger pieces with a potato masher and stir more often.
  4. Cook for 35-40 minutes. To check for doneness, take one teaspoon of jam and place it on a cold plate, and if it’s too runny cook for additional few minutes*.
  5. In the end, stir in the lemon juice and pour into warm sterilized jars and put the lids on while still hot.
  6. Let it cool down completely**. Enjoy!

Notes

*Strawberry jam can never be thick as other jams. The only way to get it turned into the gel is to add pectin.

**Prepared this way, strawberry jam can be kept on the pantry shelf for up to a year.
