Categories     Condiment/Spread     Berry     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Summer

Yield 1 1.2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 qt ripe, organic strawberries, hulled and sliced
3⁄4 to 1 cup raw organic sugar (or substitute regular granulated sugar), depending on the sweetness of the berries
2 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the strawberry mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon and mashing the strawberries slightly (I used a potato masher for this). Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Put about a teaspoon of the jam mixture on the a plate and swirl the plate around. If the jam runs, cook for 2-5 minutes longer and repeat the process. (The jam should firm up when it hits the cold plate and should no longer run.) Transfer to clean glass jars and cool. When completely cool, cover and refrigerate. Makes about 1 1⁄2 pints.

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.)
