strawberry Picking Tips

When picking strawberries, choose firm, plump berries with a vibrant red color and fresh green caps. Avoid berries with soft spots or mold.

Store unwashed strawberries in the refrigerator for up to a week. Wash them gently just before eating or using in recipes to maintain freshness.

strawberry jam recipe strawberry jam recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly.

Transfer the jam to clean, sterilized jars and seal them tightly.

Store the jars in the refrigerator once opened, and enjoy the homemade strawberry jam on toast, scones, or as a topping for desserts.
