STEP 1/11
When I weighed the strawberries, I found 637g. (When making strawberry jam, if you make it 1kg, it comes out to about 500~600ml.)
STEP 2/11
Cut the top of the strawberry with fruit and put it in a bowl.
STEP 3/11
The strawberry cleaning method is to receive enough water to soak the strawberries in the bowl, shake it gently with your hands, change the water about three times, and put it in a strainer to drain it.(If you wash vinegar or baking soda in water, it's better to wash it in plain water because the strawberry doesn't have skin and can absorb it as it is.)
STEP 4/11
Cut strawberries into the size of fingernails. (If you want to eat strawberry jam without lumps, grind them with a blender or hand blender.)
STEP 5/11
Put 300g of strawberry and brown sugar in a pot. (White sugar is sweeter than brown sugar.)
STEP 6/11
Mix brown sugar and strawberries evenly over low heat. (When heat is applied to the pot, boil it down until it is slightly weaker than the medium heat when the strawberry has a lot of moisture.)
STEP 7/11
Remove the foam that rises as it boils from time to time. (If you remove the foam from time to time when making fruit jam, you can eat a clean handmade jam.)
STEP 8/11
Keep stirring so that the strawberry jam does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
STEP 9/11
If the shape of the strawberry jam changes and you feel that it has been boiled down to a certain extent, take a spoon of strawberry jam and drop it in cold water. (If the strawberry jam is not disturbed in cold water, it is boiled down properly.)
STEP 10/11
Lastly, add 0.3~0.5 tablespoons of lemon juice and stir.
STEP 11/11
Add lemon juice, boil it down over medium heat, and when it boils up, turn off the gas stove immediately to complete the recipe for handmade jam, fruit jam, and strawberry jam.
White sugar makes it sweeter than brown sugar, but I personally used brown sugar.
When washing fruits or vegetables, wash them with vinegar or baking soda, but strawberries may absorb vinegar because they have no skin, so wash them one by one with water or under running water.
Strawberry jam can be stored in the refrigerator or kimchi refrigerator for 6 months to a year, but it is better to eat it as soon as possible after making it.
