what's that bloody looking lemon slice?

Aya’s so smart =)

 

Ya … it is strawberry jam. I couldn’t resist making it after the compliments and the request for the recipe. Anyway I had to try it for myself since I’m doing it without the breadmaker!

 

I had about ½ of the required strawberries sitting in my fridge (was going to make alcoholic strawberries conserve :P) but I ran out of plain vodka, so while waiting for someone to donate me a bottle, the strawberries are just _sitting there_.

 

So *ahem* it was pretty quick, did it within the hour so it’s now sitting in a pretty Daiso bottle in my fridge!

 

It’s not as watery as the previous time, probably because I didn’t try to rub off all the seeds on the strawberries. The natural pectin required for it to set is contained in the skin, so this time I guess there was enough pectin to help set the jam properly.

 

A nice ending to the weekend J

 

Scroll down for the amended recipe. It’s in one of the post titled “Strawberry Jam”.
