Homemade Strawberry Jam
********************************

Ingredients:

• 500 gm.  strawberries
• 400 to 500 gm.  sugar
• 2 tbsp.  lemon juice

Method:

• Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull and halve ( if they are large, cut into small chunks).
• Place a plate in the freezer to chill, this will be used to test the jam.
• In a pan, combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice and stir with a wooden spoon.
• Cook on very low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries are softened.
• Mash the pieces of strawberries with the back of the spoon ( Do not mash completely, if you like it a bit chunky ).
• Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Now boil hard to thicken contents until the jam reaches setting point. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface with a spoon.
• When jam starts to form smaller, thicker bubbles; remove from heat & test for setting.
• Put a teaspoon of jam on the prepared cold plate. Drag a finger through it. If jam is ready, the parting made by the finger will remain open. If it runs together, a little more cooking is required.
• If jam is not set, return to the heat and cook again for few more minutes before testing again.
• Remove from heat and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes.
• Spoon the jam into clean warm dry jars, cover it with muslin cloth ( malmal ka kapra ) and leave to cool at room temperature.
• When cool, cover and store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator.
