Categories     Dessert     Jam and Jelly

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound fresh strawberries (hulled and quartered)
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)

Steps:

  • Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan (I use a 3-quart saucepan). Mash the strawberries a little (I use a potato masher to do this).
  • Bring to a boil, stirring frequently and occasionally mashing the strawberries.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the heat to make sure the jam doesn't bubble over or start to burn on the bottom of the pan. Keep in mind that the jam will thicken a little more once cooled, so it is ready when it's almost as thick as you would want the finished product to be.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and skim the foam off the top. This will help keep your jam clear rather than cloudy or streaky. Take off as much as you can without removing too much of the jam.
  • Cool slightly and pour into jars. If you plan to freeze the jam, make sure to leave a little space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion. Allow the jam to cool at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, refrigerate the jam for 24 hours. The jam will thicken a little more during this time. If you are freezing the jam, put it in the freezer after it has been in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

STRAWBERRY REFRIGERATOR JAM



Strawberry Refrigerator Jam image

Keep cardamom pods and vanilla beans on hand so that you can make this jam throughout berry season. Simply simmered for 20 minutes, it works best made in small batches like this. Serve it warm over toast or vanilla ice cream, and keep any leftovers in the fridge. And if you have some on hand... stir in a handful of raspberries with the strawberries.

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
5 cardamom pods, cracked just enough so seeds stay inside
1 quart strawberries (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved if larger than a walnut, hulled

Steps:

  • Put the vanilla seeds and pod in a heavy, nonreactive skillet. Add the sugar, orange juice and cardamom pods and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the strawberries to the skillet and stir once to coat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and jam-like, 20 to 25 minutes. (The longer the mixture cooks, the thicker the jam will be after it cools.) Remove from the heat and let cool before using. Discard the cardamom and vanilla pods before serving. (The jam will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.)

Categories     condiment

Time 2h55m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pints fresh strawberries
3 cups superfine sugar
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and small-diced
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Place the strawberries in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Drain and hull the strawberries. Cut the larger berries in half or quarters and leave the small berries whole. Place the strawberries in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot such as heavy Dutch oven and toss them with the sugar and orange-flavored liqueur.
  • Bring the berry mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Add the apple and blueberries and continue to keep the mixture at a rolling boil, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. This should take 25 to 35 minutes. Skim and discard any foam that rises to the top. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then store covered in the refrigerator. It will keep refrigerated for at least 2 weeks. To keep the jam longer, pack and seal in canning jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CLASSIC STRAWBERRY JAM



Classic Strawberry Jam image

This is a classic Canadian recipe. Simple and delicious. It's not thick, like pectin-based jams, but I think it's truer to the fruit and more delicious. Try it with Recipe #62942 - perfect pairing. ETA: Many people have asked me why this recipe contains butter. The butter prevents the jam from foaming while you're cooking it - the foam is unattractive and spoils the appearance of the jam. Adding a little butter eliminates this problem.

Categories     Strawberry

Time 40m

Yield 6 pint jars (approximately)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs fresh strawberries, washed and hulled (about 9 cups)
4 cups sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring strawberries up to a simmer over medium-low heat, mashing roughly with a potato masher or flat spoon.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice, stir, and bring up to a simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add butter and bring to a vigorous boil, stirring often, and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, periodically measuring the viscosity of the jam by dabbing a spoonful onto a plate and tipping the plate.
  • Once the jam slows its drip down the plate (it should no longer run like a syrup), remove from heat and skim off foam.
  • Fill jars that have been washed, rinsed, dried and boiled in a pot of water for 3 minutes to 1/4 inch from the top.
  • Fasten lids securely and boil jars in a vat of water (be sure jars are completely submerged) for 15 minutes.
  • Remove jars with tongs and let cool upright.
  • Check for secure seals on jars (lid should not spring when touched) and store in a cool place away from light for up to a year.
  • Any jars that do not achieve a proper seal should be refrigerated.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet strawberries.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the strawberries with a potato masher or fork.
  • If you like your jam chunky, don't puree the strawberries completely. Leave some small pieces for texture.
  • If you want a sweeter jam, add more sugar. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup for a different flavor.
  • To test if the jam is done, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  • Store the jam in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Kittencal's Easy Refrigerator Strawberry Jam is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for summer. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a jar of fresh, homemade jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, waffles, or pancakes.
