How to make strawberry jam at home - this is my grandmothers recipe. In Latvia the jam is prepared so that the fruit remains whole because we don't spread our jam on bread or toast but prefer to eat it from a jar with a teaspoon at evening tea. We think of the berries and very sweet syrup as more of a fruit confection than something to make the bread taste good. Varenie - jam is our favorite way of preserving summer fruit. This jam is not your typical, It is a kind of jam, where you have whole pieces of fruit in lots of transparent colorful and aromatic strawberry syrup. Strawberries are sometimes called a fruit of love, since they have a heart shape, are red in color and are believed to be an aphrodisiac.
Hi everyone!
Hello everyone!
Welcome to my channel Alice Yummy Food.
Today I'm going to share my babushka's recipe
on how to make homemade strawberry jam.
I love this jam.
It reminds me of summer and in Latvia we do a lot of preserves
so I always used to watch
my granny just sit there in the garden,
peel these strawberries and make batches of strawberry
jam.
So I'm going to share this recipe with you today and let's get started.
We only need fresh strawberries,
lemon and sugar and I've got some sterilized jars of
different sizes.
I love fresh strawberries, they smell absolutely amazing. So the first
thing we're going to do,
we're going to wash them
and hold them.
We're going to leave our
strawberries for about three
to four hours until they start to produce a lot of juice.
There are several ways to cook your jam,
so you can either cook it on high heat for about
five minutes and then put it into jars.
What my grandma used to do is cook it for five
minutes, then leave it to cool down completely
and then cook it again for five minutes, but
you repeat that three to four times.
So once you've cooked your jam, we're going to put
into our sterilized jars
and then into the fridge take your masher and squeeze some of the
strawberries not all of them
because we want to keep some of them as whole and just squeeze some
when your jam is cooking we need to get rid of all
the white bubbles um just collect them and get rid
of that
