Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Glass jar

Ingredients
  

  • 1.1 pounds ripe strawberries (500 gr.)
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely ground
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from one medium lemon)

Instructions
 

  • Wash the strawberries and remove the leafy tops. Cut them in 4 or 8 pieces each, depending on how big pieces of fruit you’d like in your jam.
  • Put the strawberry pieces in a saucepan and crush them slightly so that some of their juice can be extracted. Add the honey and place the saucepan over low heat.
  • Once the boiling starts, you’ll see pink foam forming at the surface, which will soon be gathered towards the rim. Use a spoon to carefully skim it off.
  • Let the jam boil for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the last five minutes, add the ginger and lemon juice and stir. The jam may seem watery at the end of the boiling time but it will set even more while it cools.
  • Let it cool completely, transfer it to a glass jar and refrigerate it.

NOTES

The recipe yields 1 medium jar approximately.
