How to make strawberry jam step by step

Follow the recipe, and you will find out how you make strawberry jam from scratch:

  1. Rinse the strawberries under cold water before cooking.

  2. Cut the pineapple into small cubes. 

  3. Spoon the strawberry mass into the pot and add the pineapple cubes. Bring the strawberry and pineapple mass to an active boil, reduce the heat and cook over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes. Remove the foam from the strawberry and pineapple jam using a dipper. Keep stirring your strawberry and pineapple jam while cooking to stop the jam from burning.

  4. Add the lemon juice into your strawberry jam and stir well.

  5. Combine pectin and warm water and stir until melted. Pay attention to the instructions on the pectin box.

  6. Then pour the pectin into the strawberry mass and mix well. Add in the vanilla and cook the strawberry and pineapple jam on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove the remaining foam from the jam surface.

  7. Strawberry and pineapple jam is slightly gelatinous, but while hot still drips off the spoon. At a first glance it doesn't look like jam at all, but that is ok, because the gelation occurs gradually.

  8. Ladle the strawberry and pineapple jam with pectin into sterile jars. Then seal and cool the jars.
