Course Jam
Cuisine English

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 kg strawberries
  • 300 gms gms sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Wash and drain the strawberries and dry on a towel.
  • Chop all the strawberries into chunks
  • Keep aside a handful chopped strawberries to get a crunch in it.
  • In a mixer blend the strawberries into a coarse.
  • Heat a pan and the puree.
  • Add the chopped strawberries when the puree is boiling.
  • Add the lemon juice and the sugar.
  • Boil for 10 to 15 minutes and keep stirring sometimes.
  • Check the sugar and add more if necessary as it depends on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Let the mixture boil till it becomes thick.
  • Drop a little jam on a plate. If it is thick and not runny then it is done. It will get thicker once it is cool.
  • Let it cool and store in a mason jar and refrigerate.
  • The jam was still warm and I couldn’t resist it and spread the Homemade Strawberry Jam on a slice of bread and Mmmmmmmmm.

Notes

If strawberries are sour then add a little more sugar.
Make it with brown sugar for healthier jam.
Keep chunks and add at the end if you like the fruity bite.
