The naturally sweet strawberries are the best part of the winter season. To preserve them for a longer time, you can turn them into strawberry jam and enjoy the fruit as a dessert or breakfast spread.
4 cups strawberries 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Take the fresh strawberries, wash and dry them. Remove their leaves and chop.
Cook the strawberries on a low flame and mix them with powdered sugar.
Add lemon juice and let the mixture simmer till the berries soften and the jam is thickened.
Check the temperature; the jam should be done once it reaches around 100°C.
Fill and store the jam in air-tight containers.
You can enjoy it for three weeks, and if canned properly, the jam can even last a year.
