Strawberry is a lovely fruit with its rich vibrant colour and is a good source of vitamin C, fiber,folate, potassium and manganese.
Strawberries dipped in chocolate is one of our family favourite.
Its season now for this fruit in this region where we live. SO we went for some strawberry picking in a farm.
And since we got lot of them i decided to make some jam out of it. Here are those farm fresh ones we picked.
Ingredients:
strawberry - 5 cups sliced
sugar - 1 cup
pectin - 2 tsp pectin
[Strawberry is a fruit very low in pectin, so we need some for making the jam consistency. You can use any brand. Follow the package instructions on how much to use.]
Method:
Wash and slice the strawberries.
After that I blend them smooth. If you like chunkier consistency you can just mash them fork.
Mix sugar and pectin and keep.
Bring prepared strawberries to boil.
Add sugar and pectin mix and keep stirring for 1-2 minutes.
Return to a full boil and remove from heat.
Pour into containers and cool.
Refrigerate after 24 hours.
Enjoy!
hey Jeena...i did it, but without pectin(i didn't get it nearby...but i had already mashed the strawberries), so it turned out to strawberry squash.
ReplyDeleteTo make strawberry jam without pectin is very tough, Or what you can do is try some mixed fruit type, adding fruits like apple will help it set.
