Recipe story

Strawberry jam... nothing beats homemade.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg fresh strawberries
  • 500 g (1/2 kg) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Note on sterilizing glass jars:
  • Wash the jars and lids well, then place them in an oven at 150 C (about 300 F) for around 15 minutes before use.
  • Do not put any plastic or rubber parts that come with some jars in the oven so they don't melt or burn.

Method

  1. Wash the strawberries well and remove the green stems, then put them in a medium bowl and add the sugar and lemon juice.
  2. Put the strawberries in a pot over medium heat and stir the ingredients from time to time with a wooden spoon, removing any foam that forms on the surface.
  3. Let the mixture boil until the strawberries soften and the mixture thickens, about half an hour.
  4. Store the strawberry jam in a sterilized glass jar with a tight lid; when the jam has cooled completely, seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator.
  5. Wash the jar and lid thoroughly, then place them in an oven at 150°C for about 15 minutes before using.
  6. Do not put the plastic or rubber pieces that come with some jars in the oven so they do not melt or burn.
