Strawberry Jam (without Pectin)

-



'Strawberry Jam'---About this recipe I think there is no need to say anything about it. Everyone's favourite specially children loves it very much. But normally it comes from store in most of the house. If you can make it in your kitchen, it will be the healthiest version as it is without any artificial colour or flavour, without pectin and no gelatin. If you follow this recipe, you also don't need to compromise the taste. Today I am going to share fresh Strawberry Jam recipe. You can store this for atleast 2-3 months in refrigerator.
Lets go to the recipe.

Preparation Time : 10 minutes

Cook Time       : 35 minutes

Serves            : 25 people

 

Ingredients:
  • Strawberry(chopped)- 1 kg [See in my youtube video: how to cut strawberry]
  • Granulated Sugar- 800 gram
  • Half of a lemon
  • Pinch of salt(optional)

How to Make:

  1. Take chopped strawberry in a large pan.
  2. Add sugar into it.
  3. Mix well so that sugar and strawberry get mixed.
  4. Now cook in medium heat and stir continuously.
  5. When sugar melts and strawberry is half cooked, squeeze the lemon into it.
  6. Sprinkle pinch of salt. But its totally optional.
  7. Stir well. 
  8. Now take out the foam with a spoon.
  9. When it changes the colour and becomes thick, take a chilled plate and pour drops of jam and wait for couple of minutes.
  10. If you can see its set, then its ready and time to turn off the heat. [Check the video]
  11. Transfer into a jar after cooling little bit.
  12. Let it cool down completely and close the jar to store in fridge. You can store it upto 3 months in fridge.

My tip:

  • Always use sterilized jar to store.
  • Take the washed fruits.
  • In the same way, you can make mixed berry jam.

Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake.

If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
