Refresh: No-sugar Strawberry Jam!

On By Debbie JennerIn Fresh garden produce, Strawberry Jam

So, these strawberries are from my own garden. Grown in organic compost, they taste divine! So soft, so sweet. They need no added sugar.

Yesterday I made a jar of strawberry jam from:


2.5 cups of strawberries
1 tbsp water
juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp of arrowroot

Because the strawberries were fresh I softened them in a pan by just adding all the ingredients together. I then did blits them in a blender, but suspect I maybe hadn’t have needed to.

I brought the whole concoction to the boil, then left it on a medium heat left for 50 minutes or so to thicken, stirring occasionally so as not to burn the pan. I knew when it was ready by drawing a spatula through and it left a space where the spatula had been for a couple of seconds before closing up. I then let it cool and then poured into a jar!

Very easy, and very yummy. If you’re using frozen strawberries I would definitely blits them in a blender first and then heat up with all the other ingredients.

I will have another go when more have ripened and will let you know!
