Last week in the Guangzhou strawberry farm picked 3 pounds of strawberries did not finish eating, yesterday with a pound of strawberries to make strawberry jam, boiled strawberry jam thick and delicious, used to eat with bread is too delicious.
Prepare the ingredients:
A pound of strawberries, a lemon, 100g of rock sugar, a glass bottle
1. Put a pound of strawberries in a bowl, pour water, add some salt and soak for 10 minutes. The strawberries are then washed and de-stemmed. Pack in a basket and drain the strawberries.
2. Drain the watered strawberries, dice, I generally divide into 4 equal parts, strawberries do not make too small, so that the boiled strawberry jam will have a grainy feeling, it looks higher, more appetite.
3. Pour the rock sugar into the strawberry kernels and stir well. (Lemon juice can keep the jam color bright, pectin precipitate, antiseptic and sterile, so be sure not to omit it.) ）
4. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze in half lemon juice, mix well, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, marinate the juice.
5. Pour the pickled strawberries into a pot and simmer over low heat. White foam will appear during the boiling process, use a spoon to skim the foam, the foam will affect the taste of the jam, do not be too troublesome. How to judge whether the jam is boiled well? Simmer until thick, scoop a little drip into cold water with a spoon, and if it will solidify and sink, it is boiled. If the drip is dissolved directly in water, it should be boiled for a while.
6. Put the prepared strawberry jam into a water-free and oil-free glass bottle while it is hot, buckle it upside down, and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration after cooling. (Glass bottles containing strawberry jam must be sterilized at high temperatures and be water- and oil-free.) You can use the disinfection cabinet to disinfect, boil water for a while, put the oven at 100 degrees to bake, you can. ）
Homemade strawberry jam, if refrigerated without opening the lid, can be stored for 3 months. After opening the lid, use a water- and oil-free spoon and consume it as soon as possible.
