Strawberry is just one of the most popular fruits all around the world. A lot of people love it, including me. I just can’t resist the sweet and sour taste, plus its crunchy texture. Dip it into melted chocolate, and you already have a wonderful treat at home! Aside from that, I like making them into jams. That’s why I am sharing this recipe by Little Strawberry Kitchen. It only has three ingredients, and I can assure you that your spread will turn out fantastic.
Ingredients:
- 2.2 lb of fresh strawberries
- 2 3/4 cups of sugar
- lemon
Instructions:
Step 1:
Get the strawberries and place them in a bowl. Fill it with water and washed the strawberries well to remove dirt. Once done, drain them well and cut the top part of each one.
Step 2:
Slice the strawberries into thin slices, then divide into two. Place them into two separate bowls.
Step 3:
Add one bowl of strawberries into a pot and blend using an immersion blender until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4:
Add 2 3/4 cups of sugar to the pureed strawberries and mix well. Next, add the other bowl of strawberries.
Step 5:
Mix and place over low heat. Cook until the sugar dissolve. Continuously stir the mixture until bubbles form.
Step 6:
Increase the heat to high. Keep on stirring until the mixture thickens. Skim off foam. It should now have a very red color.
Step 7:
Slice one lemon and squeeze it into a bowl. Get 1 tablespoon of the juice and add to the strawberries. Mix until well combined.
Step 8:
Test the consistency of the strawberries by putting a small amount on a cold plate. Tilt the plate, and if it does not run smoothly, your strawberry jam is ready. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a while. You can store them in sterilized jars for later consumption.
