500 to 600 grams sugar
1 tablespoon lemon
Direction for Strawberry Jam
- Wash the strawberries and spread them on a thick kitchen towel to dry.
- Cut 200 grams of strawberries in quarters and set aside.
- In a food processor make a coarse puree of rest of the strawberries.
- Transfer pure in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice and stir until sugar melts.
- Now increase the heat so that the jam starts to bubble. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Check the sugar and add more if required as it depends on the sweetness of the strawberries.
- The jam should be thick by now. Check by dropping a little jam on a plate. It should be thick but not lumpy. Keep in mind that the jam will thicken when cooled.
- Cool and store in a sterilized bottle and keep refrigerate.
