Home Made STRAWBERRY JAM


If you and your family love jam, then this simple recipe is a must try as its very easy to make. Strawberry is again a good fruit rich in antioxidants. Of course this recipe has sugar but it compares to home made vs store bought. I didn't use any store bought pectin. Lemon and lemon zest does the work of pectin. 

4 cups strawberry cleaned
1 cup sugar/raw sugar
1 lemon juice and zest

Chop strawberry roughly. Take a deep thick pan and mix it with sugar and keep covered for 30 min. Add lemon juice and zest and cook on high heat while stirring for 10 min.Sugar would have melted by now. If you would like chunky jam then keep cooking until you get a thick jam else remove from heat and let it cool down. Blend to get a smooth mixture and cook again until you get the desired consistency. 
Store in glass jar and refrigerate. 

Use with  pan cakes/ flat breads or any kind of bread. You can use it for layering yogurt and granola too.
