One pot Strawberry Jelly recipe
INGREDIENTS
- 1 kg fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
PREPARATION METHOD
- Prepare the strawberries: Remove the stalks from the strawberries and cut them into small pieces.
- Mix the ingredients together: Put the chopped strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Mix well.
- Mash the strawberries: Use a potato masher, a fork or a masher to mash some strawberries and release the juices. This will help form the consistency of the jam.
- Cook the strawberries: Bring the pan to the boil over medium-high heat and bring the strawberries to the boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat: Reduce the heat to medium-low after boiling and let the jam continue cooking for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Check the consistency: To check the consistency, put a small amount of jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles with your finger, it's ready.
- Store: Turn off the heat and let the jam cool down a little before transferring it to clean, sterilized jars.
- Cool and store: Let the jars cool completely before refrigerating. Strawberry jam can be stored in the fridge for several weeks.
