Get ready to spread some love on your toast with this homemade easy strawberry jam that’s sure to give your mornings a little sprinkle of bliss. 🍓✨
Ingredients:
- 3 pints fresh strawberries - These ruby gems are the heart of our jam.
- 3 cups superfine sugar - Just the right amount to sweeten your day. 🌈
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur - A dash of Grand Marnier for that zesty high note. 🍊
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple - For that perfect pucker and a pinch of pectin magic.
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries - A pop of color and a burst of berry goodness. 💙
Let’s Get Jamming:
- Wash your strawberries. Pat them dry, hull, and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix the strawberries with sugar and that spirited liqueur. Let them mingle and macerate for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar starts whispering sweet nothings.
- Move the berry symphony to a pot and introduce the apple. Cook over a gentle flame, stirring with until the sugar melts away.
- When the sugar has vanished, let the mixture dance to a boil. Welcome the blueberries and keep stirring.
- Simmer the jam to your desire. Test its jiggle on a chilled plate; it should set like a peaceful dream.
- Once done, let the jam rest for a moment. Then, with care, fill your jars, leaving a little room for expansion.
