Como fazer Strawberry Jam
- Wash and hull 2 pounds of fresh strawberries. Roughly chop them into small pieces.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped strawberries, 4 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water.
- Over medium-low heat, stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Do not rush this step!
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning. The jam will thicken significantly during this time. Use a spoon to check for setting point – a small amount drizzled onto a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with your finger.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the jam.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts) to ensure safe preservation. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- Let the jars cool completely. You'll hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
