Ingredients
1 kg of fresh strawberries, clean and without leaves
750g sugar (you can adjust according to your sweetness preference)
1 lemon juice
Directions
- Wash the strawberries well and remove the stems. Cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer chunks in your jelly, or leave them whole for a smoother consistency.
- In a large pan, place the prepared strawberries and add the sugar and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Let it rest for about 1 hour so the strawberries release some juice.
- After the resting time, place the pan over medium-high heat.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches the desired jelly-like consistency. You can test this by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate. If it sets after a few minutes, it’s ready.
- While the jelly is still hot, pour it into sterilized jars.
- Close the jars tightly and let them cool completely before refrigerating.
- Your strawberry jam is ready to enjoy! It’s great on toast, cakes, pancakes and more.
