I make strawberry jam only according to this recipe, I don’t look for others – the taste and smell of strawberries are preserved. And without thickener, it’s thick

No matter who I recommend this recipe to, everyone is delighted and wonders why they hadn’t made it this way before. The result is a delicious whole-berry jam with a real strawberry flavor and aroma.

Strawberry Jam Secrets Tip #1: Wash Strawberries the Right Way. Strawberries absorb water quickly, so wash them quickly under running water. You can use a strainer and rinse in small batches so the berries don’t have time to absorb the water.

Tip #2: Waterless Jam

For the jam, we use only strawberry juice. Cover the berries with sugar and let them sit for several hours or overnight. We always add sugar to the strawberries in the evening and start cooking in the morning. A lot of juice is created.

Tip #3: Perfect Kitchen Utensils

It’s best to use a wide, low container. This allows moisture to evaporate more quickly and keeps the cooking temperature low. We have a special bowl for strawberry jam that can’t be replaced with anything.

Tip #4: Cook in Multiple Stages

To achieve a beautiful color and maintain the shape of the berries, cook the jam in batches. After boiling, skim off the foam and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. The more cooking stages, the better. Three approaches are optimal. I once made jam for three days and it was the best jam I’ve ever made.

Tip #5: Let the Jam Stand
