Strawberry Jam Recipe without Pectin and Low Sugar

strawberries (rinsed

sugar

lemons

lemon juice

apple

Wash jars and bands in hot soapy water and keep warm. Fill water bath canner with water and put on medium heat.

Mash berries with a potato masher, blender, or immersion blender to desired consistency. I prefer mine chunky, but my husband likes it more pureed. (Note, liquid or pureed berries take longer to reach the gelling point)

Place berries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest (or grated apple if using in place of lemon) into large pot. Stir until well combined. Bring berries to a boil.  Stir frequently to keep sugar from scorching.

Simmer on a low boil for 20 minutes.You can test the set of the jam by the sheeting test. Place a metal spoon in the freezer when you begin making your jam.

After the 20 minutes of boiling, use the chilled metal spoon to ladle out a spoonful of jam. Hold the spoon and watch the way the jam drips off of the spoon. If its little individual drops, jam is not set, if it’s big goops, it’s almost there. If it comes off the spoon in a sheet or doesn’t really drop off at all, then jam is set, yank that baby off the heat.

Place jars on a dish towel. Fill jars with a ¼ inch from the top with jam. A canning funnel will be your best friend during this part. With a clean damp towel, wipe down rim of jar. Place lids on, then bands, and screw down to finger tight.

Immerse jars in water bath canner inside the canning rack, making sure water covers the tops of the jars by 1 to 2 inches. Once water is boiling, set timer for 10 minutes and allow jars to process.

When time is up, turn off heat. Wait 5 minutes and then remove jars from canner. Place on a towel folded in thirds in a draft free area. Allow to cool and set overnight or for at least 12 hours.

Check seals. If the center of the lid gives, then store in the fridge and eat soon.

If jars are sealed, wipe down with a damp cloth and store in the pantry out of the light for up to a year

wash the jars

Wash two 2-cup canning jars or other jars with tight fitting lids very well, and allow to dry completely.

cook the strawberries

Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the berries are starting to break down. Add the lemon juice, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook at a gentle simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture looks like loose jam, and has reached a temperature of 220°F measured with a candy thermometer (see Note)

crush the berries and spoon into jars

As the jam cooks you can crush the berries with a wooden spoon against the side of the pot as you go, or use a potato masher.  Leave some chunks of berry in there for texture.  Spoon the jam into the clean jars and allow to cool to room temperature.

seal and refrigerate

Gone a bit overboard at the pick your own? Then make the most of your seasonal summer fruits with this easy peasy homemade strawberry jam recipe. We&#8217;ve a similar version too, which is slightly speedier &#8211; quick strawberry jam.

Strawberry jam

strawberries

1.4kg jam sugar

lemon

Wipe the strawberries with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Hull and halve, or quarter if large. Tumble into a large bowl and stir through half the sugar, coating the fruit well. Leave them to macerate for a couple of hours.

Transfer to a preserving pan or very large high-sided saucepan, scraping out the bowl thoroughly. Add the rest of the sugar and the lemon juice. Put a couple of saucers in the freezer (unless you have a sugar thermometer). Cook slowly over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil and bubble rapidly for about 20 minutes or until the setting point is reached (see next step).

To test whether the setting point has been reached, take the pan off the heat and either use a sugar thermometer (once it gets to 105°C it’s ready) or spoon a little of the jam onto a cold saucer from the freezer. Return the saucer to the freezer for a minute to cool the jam, then push it with the tip of your finger – if the jam wrinkles on the surface, the setting point has been reached. If it hasn’t set, continue boiling for a couple more minutes, then repeat the test.

Remove any scum from the surface of the jam with a metal spoon and leave to sit for 10 minutes so the strawberries are well distributed throughout the jam. Spoon into warm, freshly sterilised jars, to within 3mm from the top. Top with a waxed disc and seal with a lid, then leave to cool.

”Quick

A new season calls for a new homemade jam, and strawberries are just starting to come into season! Today I want to share just how shockingly simple it is to make a delectable strawberry jam using our favorite new kitchen gadget, the Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Strawberry Jam

orange

Start by prepping the strawberries. Rinse them thoroughly, then remove the greens with a paring knife. Slice the strawberries in half and place them into the pot of your Instant Pot.

Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the halved strawberries and allow them to sit for 10 minutes or so. The sugar will release the juices from the strawberries, which is necessary for the Instant Pot method to work.

Use a reamer or juicer to juice the orange, then pour 1 ounce of the fresh orange juice over the strawberries and sugar.

Lock the lid of your Instant Pot, then select the “Manual” option. Cook on high pressure for 1 minute, then wait 15 minutes after the cooking is done for the pressure to release naturally.

The strawberries will have cooked down into a thick compote of sorts.

Transfer the mixture to your blender or use an immersion blender to achieve your desired jam texture.

Store in an airtight container in your refrigerator, and apply liberally to toast, ice cream, or just grab a spoon.

An easy recipe to make strawberry jam without pectin and preservatives. Made with just three ingredients - fresh ripe strawberries, sugar and lemon juice.

Strawberry Jam Recipe (Without Pectin)

strawberries (or 5 cups chopped strawberries, preferably organic)

lemon juice (- optional)

Rinse organic strawberries in a colander or strainer a few times. Drain all the water and let them dry naturally or wipe them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Remove the green stems and leaves from the strawberries. Chop them and set aside.

In a saucepan take the chopped strawberries. Add sugar and lemon juice.

Mix well and keep the pan on stovetop on low to medium-low heat.

The strawberries will leave their juices and begin to cook.

Stir at intervals and often till the strawberries soften and are cooked.

Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer till the jam mixture starts reducing.

Keep on stirring often when the jam mixture is reducing.

It took me an overall 50 minutes right from the start till finish to cook the jam minus the prep work.

When the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan, it means the jam has reached its setting point. Other ways to check the consistency and doneness is by doing two tests.

1: Plate TestTake a spoonful of the strawberry jam on a plate and let it cool. If it sets on cooling and there is no water separation, this means the jam is done.

2: Spoon Test or Sheet TestAnother test is to take the jam in a spoon and allow it to fall. If the jam falls in a one sheet from the spoon, it is cooked and ready to be bottled.

Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the jam cool at room temperature.

Then transfer the jam in a medium-sized sterilized glass jar or bottle.

This proportion gives about 1 medium jar of jam which is enough for some weeks if you eat jam everyday for breakfast.

Keep the jam bottle in the fridge.

Enjoy the strawberry jam as you like.

Prepping Strawberries

The Best Strawberry Jam Recipe without pectin. I add lemon juice and the lemon halves to my jam. The lemon flavor brings out the strawberry taste and helps in preserving the jam for a long period of time. (Please read through the post properly for tips and detailed info).

Easy Strawberry Jam Recipe

2.2 Pounds Strawberries

Lemon (*see Notes)

Wash your Strawberries well and pick out the ones that are getting moldy and spoiled. Only keep healthy fruits. Cut off the stem and cut your strawberries small.

Place the Strawberries into the jam cooking pot. Add the sugar, lemon juice and the squeezed out lemon halves.

Place on the heat, mix and slowly bring to a rolling boil.

Reduce the heat and leave your jam to simmer over 30 and more minutes or until set

When you think it's set, blend with a hand blender to a smooth consistency.

Test setting temperature with the candy thermometer: 220 Fahrenheit/ 105 Celsius.OR test by dropping the hot jam into a frozen plate and if it's not running, it's set. If it's running leave it to simmer further. Read up all the details in the post to get it right.

Keep your clean sterilized jam jars ready and fill up with the still hot jam up to the rim. Drop some vodka or rum into the clean lids to kill any germs left.

Close the filled jam jar with the lid well and quickly turn upside down to create a vacuum. Leave the jar that way until the next day. Then label with jam name and date.

Store in a cool and dry place. Store in the fridge once opened.
