STRAWBERRY JAM

 STRAWBERRY JAM

Slightly tangy, perfectly sweet and a thick consistency. The strawberry jam comes in handy whenever we want to have a quick breakfast or brunch. All you need to do is chop the strawberries and then just cook them in a pan with sugar with frequent stirrings. So you can make the jam when you are prepping or cooking something else. I have added lemon juice to give a slight tang to the jam, but skip if you do not prefer it.

Ingredients:
2 cups strawberry

1+1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp corn flour

1/4 cup water

Recipe:

1. Rinse the strawberries. Chop them finely.
2. In a pan take the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice.
3. Mix well and keep the pan on stove top on low to medium flame.
4. The strawberries will leave their juices and begin to cook.
5. Add water and corn flour to it. (You can totally skip this step)
6. Stir at intervals till the strawberries soften and are cooked.
7. Reduce the flame to low and continue to simmer till the jam mixture starts reducing.
8. Keep on stirring often when the jam mixture is reducing.
9. When the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan, it means its done.
10. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the jam cool.
11. Then add it in a small sterilized glass jar or bottle or a clean bowl.
12. This proportion gives about 1 bowl of jam.
13. Keep the jam bottle in the fridge.

Serve the strawberry jam whenever required.

Enjoy and keep showering your love.
