Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Strawberries
- 600 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons White rum
- 1 packet Pectin
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
Place the strawberries in a large pot and mash them lightly with a potato masher until they release their juices but still have some texture.
Add the granulated sugar and lime juice to the pot with the strawberries and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Once boiling, lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil and stir in the lime zest and the pectin according to the instructions on the pectin packet.
Continue cooking and stirring for 10-12 minutes until the mixture thickens. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the white rum. Taste the jam and adjust as needed (e.g., adding a bit more lime juice for extra tanginess).
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation, or refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks if not canning.
Let the jars cool completely on a towel-covered countertop. Check the seals before storing.
