Steps:
- Wash strawberries, remove green leaves and crush.
- In your largest pot, combine strawberries and sugar. Let stand for 1 hour. Heat to boiling, then simmer for 15 minutes.
- Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries.
- Wipe down the sides of the pan so no sugar granules remain or the jam will have a grainy texture later.
- Stir in the Jell-O. Fill clean containers with jam. I didn't have a canning jar filler, so I used a big plastic cup with a hole in the bottom. I put my jam in mason jars even though I didn't actually can the jam. You can also store the jam in plastic tupperware containers or even plastic freezer bags.
- Freeze the jam. Thaw in fridge before serving on toast, waffles, sandwiches or even ice cream.
Tips:
- Use ripe and fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If the strawberries are not sweet enough, you can add a little bit of sugar to the jam.
- To make the jam thicker, use more pectin. You can also add a little bit of lemon juice to help the pectin set.
- If you want a smoother jam, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after it has been cooked.
- Be careful not to overcook the jam, or it will become too thick and rubbery.
- Store the jam in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Strawberry jam is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It is also a great way to use up fresh strawberries when they are in season. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious homemade strawberry jam that will be enjoyed by your family and friends.
