I
















Ingridents:2lbs Fresh Strawberries
4cup cups sugar
1 1/2cup real honey
1/2 Lemon juice
Pinch of coarse salt

Methods:

Cut and trim strawberries into quarter for easy blending later
Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar into the pot and let it stand to extract the juice if time allow
If not, go to next step

Pour mixture into a tall heavy stockpot (in case of hot sugary overflow)
Add all ingridents into the strawberries and stir well
Slowly, bring the mixture to a boil
Note:  Wear gloves and use lid to prevent hot liquid spilt/burn.
Do not walk away, stay and stir until jam thickens or until the mixture has the consistency of very loose jelly after 8 to 9 minutes or until the jam reaches 220F

Skim foam from surface, if any

Remove from heat

For frozen, spoon jam into plastic sealable container and let it cool before putting into freezer.

For shelve stable, spoon hot jam into hot sterilized jars; cover immediately with sterilized lids.
