Jam jars with lids

Let's get started!

Making homemade jam is interesting. This is because almost every homemade jam recipe uses the same ingredient that you can find readily available in your home.  

Ingredients 

(Please note that the measurement can be changed, depending on the size of your family). 

  • First, you need 500g of fresh strawberries. 
  • Lemon juice
  • You need 500 gram of granulated sugar
  • Southern Jars' glass jam jars to keep your steamy jam. 

How Do You Make Strawberry Jam From Scratch?

  1. Start by washing the berries, removing any form of leaves or stems. Also ensure that the strawberries are fresh and not rotten. Do not forget that fresh berries bring the juiciest jam.
  2. Mix the berries alongside the granulated sugar and the lemon juice. I recommend that you whisk in a transparent pan. After doing that, let it cool over low heat and do not forget to gently stir until the sugar dissolves.  
  3. As the mixture continues to cook, increase the heat. One thing that makes jam making interesting is the step by step process. Moreover, jam making feels like a holiday is around the corner. Don't you think so? 
  4. Watch the berries colour gradually become darkened and the room gets filled with flavour and sweetness. Did you know that jams have one of the most beautiful flavours you can think of? This is why you need glass jam jars to preserve the sweetness and juicy flavour of your homemade jam. 
  5. Do not forget to skim off any foam ring on the surface. It's important that you observe the ritual to ensure your jam is pure and timeless. 
  6. Test your jam. If it gets wrinkled when you dip your finger then you have a ready jam. 
  7. Depending on your choice, you can still keep on heat for a few more minutes for better consistency. Afterwards, remove the pan from the heat and the jam cools off.
  8. Finally, your magical homemade jam is ready to eat. Fill your glass jars with your delicious goodness and seal with the lids.
