STRAWBERRY REFRIGERATOR JAM

Keep cardamom pods and vanilla beans on hand so that you can make this jam throughout berry season. Simply simmered for 20 minutes, it works best made in small batches like this. Serve it warm over toast or vanilla ice cream, and keep any leftovers in the fridge. And if you have some on hand... stir in a handful of raspberries with the strawberries.

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
5 cardamom pods, cracked just enough so seeds stay inside
1 quart strawberries (about 1 1/4 pounds), halved if larger than a walnut, hulled

Steps:

  • Put the vanilla seeds and pod in a heavy, nonreactive skillet. Add the sugar, orange juice and cardamom pods and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the strawberries to the skillet and stir once to coat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and jam-like, 20 to 25 minutes. (The longer the mixture cooks, the thicker the jam will be after it cools.) Remove from the heat and let cool before using. Discard the cardamom and vanilla pods before serving. (The jam will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.)

Categories     Jam

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds fresh strawberries
3 TBS fresh lime juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 TBS lime zest

Steps:

  • Wash strawberries well. Remove stems and dice. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pot. Mash mixture with a potato masher to help break strawberries down.
  • Bring mixture to a boil in a pot at least twice the size of the mixture and stir s occasionally. Lower heat to medium-high and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not leave this on the stove unattended.
  • The mixture will foam up and then as it is getting reduced, calm down and thicken up a little. The best way to tell if it is close to ready is to dip a spoon or spatula in every so often. First, the jam will begin to lightly coat the spoon, later it will drip/slide off in sections. That's when you know it is ready.
  • Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool completely. Store in a mason jar or glass bowl with lid and refrigerate until ready to use. Stays good for 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
  • Tips: Use a larger pot than you need to prevent splatter. If the jam is not as thick as you would like it after it has been completely chilled, simply return it to a pot and allow it to boil again for 7-10 minutes. Repeat cooling process. It may take a couple of times making this until you "see" when the jam reaches the right consistency
