Step-by-step Guide
Preparation
- Place the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir to make a syrup. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until it acquires a thick texture.
- When the syrup is thick, remove it from the heat and add the strawberries, making sure not to crush them, and let it rest.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature, about 30-45 minutes.
- When the mixture is cold, return it to the heat at medium-high until it comes to a boil.
- Remove from the heat immediately once it starts boiling and let it cool before serving or using.
Recommendations & Tricks
- To enhance the flavor of wild strawberries, let them macerate with sugar for at least an hour before cooking them. This will help the strawberries release their natural juices, enriching the taste of the jam.
- When cooking the jam, stir constantly with a wooden spoon over low-medium heat to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. This will ensure a smooth and homogeneous texture.
- To store the jam, make sure the jars are completely clean and sterilized. Fill them while the jam is still hot, seal them tightly, and place them upside down until they cool. This will create a vacuum and help preserve the jam for a longer period.
