Homemade Strawberry Jam

Now is the harvest season for strawberries in Cameron Highlands. During our one-day trip there, we bought 5 boxes (12 pieces each box) for merely RM10. Don't be fooled by its bloody red appearances, it tastes rather bland and sour unlike those imported from Australia. However, it is still worth to try as you can't get strawberry at that kind of price anywhere else.

To consume the balance 2 boxes of ripe strawberries, I turned them into sweet strawberry jam. This is a healthy homemade jam with no preservatives. It definitely tastes better than the strawberry itself. The juicy jam is excellent to go with bread. For my breakfast experiment, I add the strawberry jam into a cup of oats....yumyum...it makes the healthy drink so fragrant.

Ingredients:

280 gm of ripe strawberries
100ml water
80gm sugar

Method:

1. Clean the strawberries and get it smashed.

2. In a non-stick saucepan, add all the ingredients and simmer under medium heat for the first 10 minutes. Stir from time to time.

3. Turn the fire to low flame, and continue stirring till the jam thickens.

4. Leave it cool, store in air-tight container, and keep in fridge.
