How to prepare strawberry Jam without preservatives
Put the strawberry in a pot on low heat until the boiling point. Let it cook for only a minute because afterwards it will taste bitter.
Let it cool and pour it in clean and dry jars.
Keep it in the fridge.
If you think there is too much liquid, you can strain it a little and mix it with milk or yoghurt.
I like large pieces in my jam but if you want smaller ones just cut the berries into smaller pieces or even run the jam in the mixer.
