Detailed Steps for Making Homemade Strawberry Jam
Wash and remove the stems from 3 pounds of strawberries (these small fruit strawberries have firm and sweet flesh).
Add 30g of granulated sugar (adjust the amount of sugar according to personal preference for sweetness).
Mix well by hand (gloves can be worn for operation), let it sit for 20 minutes, and wait for the strawberry pectin to be released (the size and quantity of the flesh depends on personal taste).
Stir constantly over low heat and skim off the released foam (it is recommended to use a long-handled spoon to stir).
Add about 5g of lemon juice for flavor after 20 minutes (adjust the amount according to personal taste).
Continue to cook for about 20 minutes, then reduce to medium heat to thicken the sauce (the specific time depends on the size of the fire at home).
Cook until it reaches the desired thickness, then remove from heat.
Put it in a sealed jar, let it cool, and refrigerate for storage.
