I have already make two batches, not because I have eaten it all, but because I have shared with my family. Homemade just can't compare to store bought.
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled
4 cups white sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions
In a wide bowl, crush strawberries with a potato masher in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed berry.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
Boil stirring often, until the mixture thickens.
Test for jelling using the saucer in the freezer method: place a plate in the freezer. Place a teaspoon of the liquid of the jam onto the cold plate. After a minute, run your finger through the jam on the plate... if it doesn't try to run back together (if you can make a line through it with your finger) it is ready.
Your strawberry jam, as delicious as I'm sure it is, looks a little lonely....... please tell me you haven't resorted to licking it off the plate or eating it out of the jar with what ever clean utensil you can find! Eating your jam with a piece of fresh toast is much more civilized.
ReplyDeleteYou caught me!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of the jam once you have tried it.
I already ate it out of the jar with a spoon (was super good :) ........ Stay classy, my friends!!!
