Homemade Strawberry Jam

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making the perfect homemade strawberry jam. Firstly, try to use fresh strawberries for this recipe, make sure to get berries that are bright red, firm, fragrant and plump. Stay away from those with soft spots or mildew. The leaf should still be attached and green, and not be brown or wilted. Also, check the bottom of the container to make sure there are no over-ripe or rotten berries.

Since strawberries are a delicate fruit, try to use them immediately. If not, store them in a single layer on a tray or container lined with a paper towel and keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Furthermore, don’t wash/soak in water before storing, because strawberries absorb the water. Also, don’t remove the green part (the hull) of the strawberry.

Secondly, I have not used any preservatives in this recipe. Because I made a small quantity of jam only. Timing is very very important in this recipe. If you want to make it on a huge level, cook it over medium to high heat at the same interval.

Finally, if you want to know the right consistency of the jam, just drop one tsp of jam on a chilled plate. If it looks set and not runny or watery then your jam is ready. A chilled plate is very important. If the plate is not chilled then the jam will take some time to come to room temperature and meantime jam might get overcooked.
