Homemade strawberry jam<\/strong> is a real delicacy that can be eaten with spoons from a jar. A simple recipe, you just have to sprinkle the strawberries with sugar and then fry on low heat so that most of the water evaporates. And that’s it! Why buy ready-made jams full of gelling agents and artificial flavors? They are not as thick and tasty as the one fried at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the house smells like strawberries while frying. For the first 2 hours, you don’t need to look at it at all, only when the jam gets thick, it’s worth stirring it from time to time so that it doesn’t burn. You can add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons to the jam to give the jam a little sour taste. Without lemons, you get a very sweet jam, perfect for waffles and pancakes. If you prefer a very thick jam, you can fry it longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I put the ready jam still hot into hot, scalded jars, close the cap and the jars \u201cclose\u201d themselves, without pasteurizing. I leave the jars on the counter until they cool down and then put them in the cupboard. Such jam can easily be stored all winter, as long as it is not eaten beforehand. However, remember to check that the caps do not “click” when pressed to make sure they are closed tightly \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n
The jam will be ready after about 3-4 hours of frying. It all depends on how much water was in the strawberries, the power of the burner and the vessel used. A deep frying pan or a wide pot is best. The larger the evaporation surface, the faster the water will evaporate and the faster the jam will be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
