Strawberry jam, the slow way
Three ingredients, one afternoon, and a kitchen that smells like June.
By Tomás Reyes
This is my grandmother's method. It takes longer than the recipe on the box, and it is worth every minute.
What you need
- 1 kg of small, ripe strawberries
- 600 g of sugar
- The juice of one lemon
How
Cut the fruit, cover it with the sugar, and leave it overnight. The next day, cook it slowly for about forty minutes, until a drop on a cold plate holds its shape.
Fill clean, warm jars and close them at once. Keep one jar open for the toast.
