STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC JAM (USING PECTIN) RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:
- Hull the strawberries, wash and then drain them. Mash them, in layers. (I pulse them in my food processor until they are the size I prefer... small chunks, but not totally pureed). Combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar and the pectin in a large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring so it doesn't stick. Slowly add the sugar. Bring to a continuous roll, stirring frequently, so it doesn't stick. Bring to a gel stage (approximately 10 minutes). I like to chill a plate in my freezer. Spoon a little of the cooked fruit on the cold plate. Run your finger through it, and see if it separates. Let it sit a minute more and feel the texture. If it gels, it's ready. Pour into sterilized clean class jars with lids. Set the filled jars in a rack, covered by at least 2" of boiling water. Keep the pot covered and set a timer for 10 minutes, from when the water begins to rapidly boil. Remove from the pot, carefully, with a jar lifter onto a clean towel. Listen for the "pop" of the vacuum on the lids...and/or press a finger on the top. If it's firm, you have a good vacuum. If a jar is not sealed, properly, you can repeat the water bath boil method, or refrigerate this jar and eat within 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Choose a good quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will complement the sweetness of the strawberries.
- Don't overcook the jam. Overcooked jam will be thick and syrupy, and it will lose its fresh flavor.
- Taste the jam as you cook it and adjust the sugar and vinegar to your liking.
- Let the jam cool completely before storing it. This will help the jam to thicken and set.
Conclusion:
Strawberry balsamic jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast or crackers, used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal, or even used as a glaze for chicken or fish. With its sweet and tangy flavor, strawberry balsamic jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
