Tips:
Xiao Ji's broken thoughts:
1. The amount of sugar depends on personal preference, but more sugar can be stored for longer.
2. When making jam this time, I deliberately did not add maltose, because the strawberry itself will produce more pectin than other fruits, which is enough to make the pulp sticky.
3. In fact, you can also use a food processor to stir the pulp, but the strawberry pulp is soft and easily broken. I still like the jam with a bit big fruit texture, so I chose the original method of pressing with a spoon.
4. Homemade jam does not contain any preservatives and additives, so it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator.
