Strawberry Jam with Lemon
- 1 lb (500 g) strawberries, stemmed and cored
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ tsp. lemon zest, grated
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- In a medium heavy saucepan, roughly mash the strawberries with a potato masher (you can leave bigger pieces).
- Over medium heat, cook for about 12 minutes (or until reduced to 1 cup), stirring occasionally.
- In the meantime, using your fingers, rub the lemon zest with sugar to release the essential oils in the zest.
- When reduced to 1 cup, add sugar and lemon peel and cook an additional 6 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and transfer in a jam jar and cover tightly.
