Angela's Top Tip
Weigh your dry ingredients in grams with a scale for best results!
Ingredients
- 600 grams Strawberries (Sliced - 3.5 US Cups)
- 240 ml Maple Syrup (1 US Cup)
Instructions
- Add 600 grams Strawberries and 240 ml Maple Syrup to a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally as the strawberries release their juices.
- Once boiling, cook for about 15 minutes. The mixture will reach a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
- For a thicker consistency, continue boiling for a few extra minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent scorching.
- Remove from the heat and blend with an immersion blender to your preferred texture (smooth or slightly chunky).
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into mason jars. Allow to cool with lids loosely fitted.
- Once fully cooled, tighten the lids and refrigerate or freeze.
