Home Made Strawberry Jam

Ingredients

• 1000 g fresh strawberries
• 800 g white sugar
• 2 lemons, juice of

Directions

1. 1

   Clean and carefully wash strawberries. Remove all damaged or rotten parts. I recommend mixing forest and ordinary strawberries (1:1).

2. 2

   Add sugar and let it stay in sugar 3-4 hours in a large pot. Stir occasionally and wait until fruit removes juices.

3. 3

   Cook in the same large pot for 15 minutes making sure not to burn sugar. Stir always.

4. 4

   After 14 minutes, add fresh juice fo 2 lemon. Remove the foam and put the jam in hot (100°C) glass-bottle.

5. 5

   If you like more firm jam, add pectin (usually available in grocery stores). Pectin is added 2 minutes before it is done because pectin looses its characteristic if you cook it too long. Close the hot glass-bottles and keep it in dark place.
