Easy Jam with Strawberry Preserves
- 300 grams Strawberries (small ones is best)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1/2 lemon's worth Lemon juice
- Wash the strawberries, drain excess water with paper towels, put in a pot, coat with sugar and lemon juice, then let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the juice is drawn out.
- When the sugar dissolves, set on medium heat, agitating the pan from time to time as it simmers.
- Continue to simmer on medium heat for a short while to maintain the color.
- Scum will start to rise, so skim it off as it simmers.
- Removing the scum is the key to tasty jam!
- Remove from heat once the bubbles start to enlarge and there is no more scum, and when the juice thickens.
- Be careful not to simmer for too long, and leave enough of the juice.
- Pour into a boiled sterilized jar, and it's ready!
- Since it is not a gel-type jam, I store it in the refrigerator and use it up within a week.
- If you mix it with milk to make strawberry milk, kids will enjoy their milk!
- It's also tasty mixed into a sauce for baked sweets!
- This recipe makes a runny preserve, but if you want it more jam-like, simmer it for longer.
- But be careful not to simmer it for too long, or it will harden!
