Strawberries are sweet, juicy and nutritious, so I often buy them every season when a large number of strawberries are on the market. However, once the season is over, it is difficult to eat and it will inevitably leave regrets. Therefore, I can only make it into jam. , It will last longer and the taste will be more sweet.
The strawberry jam made today, I think it is very successful, whether it is color or taste, I am very satisfied, eat it in the mouth is sweet and delicious, the fruity aroma is very strong, especially if you chew a piece of fruit occasionally, you will feel very refreshing. The taste is very satisfying!

Ingredients

Strawberry Jam

1. Wash the strawberries with clean water and remove the roots

2. Drain the water and cut into small pieces

3. Put a large piece of rock candy on the plate, then put it in the microwave and bite it on high heat for about 1 minute (if you have crushed rock candy at home, this step will be avoided)

4. Take out the rock candy and put it in a food bag, break it with a rolling pin or other tools

5. Pour the crushed rock sugar into the strawberry bowl, seal it with plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator for one day

6. After a day of pickling, the strawberry has produced a lot of soup

7. Squeeze out the lemon juice and set aside (almost half a lemon)

8. Pour the marinated strawberries and the soup into a non-stick pan (do not add water), boil on medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spatula

9. After boiling, pour lemon juice and continue to simmer

10. Skimming

11. When it is close to viscous, turn to medium and low heat and simmer slowly until it reaches the consistency you like.

12. After the cooked jam cools, it will become thicker, and it tastes good when you put it on bread, cakes or steamed buns!

Tips:
1. A large piece of rock candy will be easily broken after being bitten in a microwave oven. If there is no rock candy, you can also use white sugar, the amount is the same
2. The pectin in the strawberry is very rich, so don't cook it too viscous when making jam, otherwise it will become dry and hard after cooling, which will affect the taste
3. Adding lemon juice to the jam can adjust the acidity, sterilize and antiseptic, increase the fruity flavor and improve the gloss
4. Put the finished jam into a clean, oil-free and water-free bottle and jar, and put it in the refrigerator for storage after being sealed, but don’t do too much at a time. After all, there is no preservative and the storage time will not be too long
