Ingredients

  • 300 g frozen strawberries (2.1 cups)
  • 150 g granulated sugar (0.75 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a saucepan, add the frozen strawberries, sugar and lemon juice, and mix well with a wooden spoon.
  2. Place the pan over a medium heat, and leave it to simmer gently for 45-50 minutes until the mixture thickens, but there is still some liquid left in the pan.
  3. Use a potato masher to crush some of the strawberries that are still holding their shape for a mushier texture.
  4. Add the jam to a jar - I had enough for a small jar and a small ramekin, and leave to cool completely before refrigerating.

Notes

  • Since the amount of strawberries used yields quite a small amount of jam - I got a small jar and a small ramekin of jam, I did not sterilised the jar before using, as I was planning to keep it refrigerated to use it for cakes.
  • However, if you are planning to preserve the jam for longer, and you are not going to use it soon, it is best to sterilise the jar and store it in a cupboard. You can do so by washing well the jar and lid, and placing them in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
  • Very carefully add the hot jam to the hot jar, then seal the lid tightly! Do take good care when handling the jar and jam, they are both really hot and can burn the skin easily!
