Organic Strawberry Jam Recipe – 3 simple ingredients

Larisa Iernutan

For those of you who have only eaten store-bought Strawberry Jam, I suggest you to try Homemade Strawberry Jam, as it is extremely simple to prepare. Another advantage that Strawberry Jam presents, unlike other homemade jams, is that nothing is wasted. That is, you don’t have to remove the pits, as in the case of other fruits such as raspberries, cherries, blackberries. There are people who do not remove the seeds from raspberry jam or blackberry jam, but I remove them because I think they are hard seeds, difficult to eat especially for children.

Ingredients

5 kg strawberries
500 g sugar
1 pc lemon (the lemon juice)

Instructions

First, remove the strawberry tops and clean well the strawberries with cold water;
Place the clean strawberries into a large bowl and then add some more water into the bowl, to soak them for 5 minutes;
Drain all the water from the bowl and add the lemon juice. Then, add the sugar and mix well, to make sure that the sugar is incorporated into the entire bowl of strawberries;
Place a lid, on top of the bowl, and let the sugar dissolve until the next morning, into a cool place.
The next day, prepare to start boiling the jam. If you choose to make Strawberry Jam and Strawberry Syrup as well, pour the liquid from the strawberry bowl into a different large pot. If you don’t want to boil syrup, just move the entire content of the bowl into a large pot and place it on the stove.
Without using a lid, boil the Jam for 1- ½ Hours, on low heat. Stir frequently.
In the meantime, sterilize the jars you are going to use for the strawberry jam.
Optional: 30 minutes before finishing the boiling process, add the Rhubarb if you wish to obtain a Strawberry Rhubarb Jam.
In the end, you can leave whole fruits in the jam, or you can grind them, using a blender.
Pour the jam into the jars, and immediately close their lids.
If you want to be sure that you jam will be preserved in optimal conditions and will not be spoiled over time, after a few hours or even the next day, place your jars into a large sauce pan covered with textile kitchen towel. Add about 2 cm of water to the bottom of the sauce pan and let the jars boil slowly in the saucepan for 1 hour, using low heat. After this, you can store the jars with Strawberry Jam in the pantry for 2 years without being worried that it will spoil over time.
