been longing to try this for sometime now but as fresh strawberries cam into season and landed up in my refrigerator I had no more excuses to let this chance go. Well the so called 'fruit jams' which are easily available in market are less about fruits and more about ingredients hiding in there to give it a larger shelf life and vibrant colors! Not to mention the sugar content. This is the first time I have tried any fruit preserve and what I know is it can last good for 10 days when refrigerated only if it can manage to last that long in my home! So without much ado let get into business and here goes the recipe.
Don't tell me it's so easy to make that I need not post it as I had to do this to keep track of trials and errors for record.
Ingredients:
300 grams fresh and ripe strawberries
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
Juice of one large lemon
Recipe:
Finely chop the straberries. Pour in all ingredients in a pan and cook on a low flame. It will soon start to bubble up.
Keep an eye and dont let it burn. At this stage I mashed it using a potato masher as I was looking for not so chunky jam. But its upto you. Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Switch off the stove and leave it to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. I had a beautiful mason best for the purpose. Try to use glass container .
Now enjoy with a toast of bread or parantha or can simply lick it once in a while.
