How to Make Strawberry Jam - Step-by-Step Recipe
Before closing strawberry jam onwinter, you need to take care of the sterilization of cans for conservation - if the banks are not thoroughly washed and sterilized, they will remain microbes, and strawberry jam will spoil after a few weeks. Therefore, the first stage of harvesting strawberries for the winter is sterilization of cans: rinsing the jars with cool water, boiling in a water bath with lids.
We carefully sort the berries of strawberries, mine andmash in puree - for this you can use an ordinary spoon or potato. Mash strawberries in a blender is not recommended - you get too liquid puree, which also will foam, to make strawberry jam this is not suitable.
Mix the strawberry pulp with lemon juice, add pectin and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed. We put on a strong fire and bring the mixture to a boil.
In a boiling strawberry jam we fall asleep beforehand the measured amount of sugar and again bring to a boil, without forgetting to remove the foam. Cook the jam for one to two minutes.
Ready to jam pour boiling in hotglass jars, leaving the top space about one-and-a half centimeters. The edges of the jars for preservation are wiped with a napkin, so as not to leave a drop of jam. Cover with elastic bands, apply covers and carefully roll.
Already rolled strawberry jam in jars put on a water bath and boiled for ten to fifteen minutes, after which we turn off the fire and leave in hot water for another five to seven minutes.
We take out the closed jars and leave for a dayto stand up for. Before removing the strawberry jam for storage, be sure to check whether the cans are carefully closed - whether the lid has moved, if there are any cracks on the glass. Remember that the penetration of even a small amount of air can instantly spoil the cooked strawberry jam with such difficulty, and it will not be possible to save it for the whole winter.
