Made with just three ingredients, the strawberry jam recipe is easy to make that requires no skill. Spread it on toast or roll it with Paratha, the homemade jam is to die for. I have made it in small batches since this yumlicious soft and spreadable jam just requires simple ingredients and is done with not much frills.

Ingredients

Strawberry : 500 gms

Sugar : 300 gms

Lemon juice : 2 tsp

Baking soda : a pinch

Vinegar : 1 tsp

Step 1

Rinse the strawberry and remove the stem. Soak in water with a pinch of soda and a tsp of vinegar. Drain the water and rinse again in freshwater.

Step 2

Pat them dry.

Step 3

In a thick bottom pan boil the strawberry along with 2 tsp of water.

Step 4 

Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover and cook for about ten to twelve minutes stirring frequently.

Step 5

Check the consistency of strawberry. Once it becomes pulpy add the lemon juice.

Step 6

Cook on high flame for a couple of minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 7

Let the jam cool and come down to room temperature. Carefully pour into a sterilized jar and store in the refrigerator.

Tip

To check the setting point, spoon a bit of jam over a cold plate. Tilt the plate vertically, if the jam runs slow and not messy and runny, it’s set .
