Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large. Place the strawberries in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2: Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
Step 3: Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Mash the strawberries slightly with a fork or potato masher for a smoother consistency, or leave them chunky if desired. Once the jam thickens and reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, let it cool, and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
