Strawberry jam with lime - no added sugar
Have you ever made your own jam? Now is the perfect time to start, because the first local strawberries are ripening in our fields. Freshly harvested and cooked directly with Xucker instead of sugar, bright red strawberries and a little lime juice transform into strawberry jam with lime – with no added sugar. The sugar it contains comes from the fruit itself. Strawberry jam with lime recipe Homemade strawberry jam is in a class of its own. Vibrantly red and incredibly fruity. The best part: If you prepare your strawberry jam with Gelling Xucker, you'll have strawberry jam with no added sugar. Early in the season, when the strawberries aren't quite as sweet, we recommend our Gelling Xucker 2:1 for sour fruits. You absolutely have to try it.
Instructions
- To make sugar-free strawberry-lime jam, first prepare the strawberries. Either put the frozen strawberries in a pot and let them thaw slightly, or wash and hull the fresh strawberries.
- Now prepare the jam jars. To do this, boil the lids and jars in a large pot. Fish them out of the water and place them upside down on a clean kitchen towel.
- Then, zest the lime, squeeze out the juice, and add it to the strawberries along with the Gelling Xucker.
- Bring the berry and Xucker mixture to a boil. If you prefer a very fine jam, purée the berries shortly before the mixture boils.
- Boil the jam vigorously for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Towards the end, skim off any foam and pour the boiling hot jam into the jars.
- Screw the lids onto the jars and then turn them upside down.
