Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy strawberries: This will ensure that your jam is flavorful and has a vibrant color.
  • Macerate the strawberries in sugar before cooking: This will help to draw out their natural juices and make them easier to break down.
  • Cook the jam over medium heat: This will prevent it from scorching and help to preserve the flavor of the strawberries.
  • Stir the jam constantly while cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Use a candy thermometer to test the temperature of the jam: This will ensure that it is cooked to the correct consistency.
