Method
- Wash the strawberries before you hull them, then halve them.
- Mix the fruit with the sugar and lemon juice and leave it for a few hours or overnight to release its juice.
- Cook over a medium heat, stirring and skimming, for 20 to 40 minutes, until a drop of jam on a cold saucer stays put when you tilt it.
- With 2:1 jam sugar four minutes of boiling is enough; use half a kilogram of it per kilogram of fruit instead of ordinary sugar.
- Pour the hot jam into sterilised jars to the brim, close them and turn them upside down for five minutes.

Seasonal calendar →How we count
1 kg (Strawberries) makes about 0.85 l.
The hulls take about 5%, and strawberries hold a lot of water, so the jam cooks longer and reduces more. With half a kilogram of sugar per kilogram of prepared fruit you get about 1.3 kg of jam, and a litre of jam weighs about 1.3 kg: roughly a litre per kilogram of prepared fruit.
