STRAWBERRY  JAM

Rinse and hull the strawberries. Chop them finely. In a pan, take the strawberries. Jaggery (or sugar) and lemon juice.

Mix well and keep the pan on stove top on low to medium flame. The strawberries will leave their juices and begin to cook.Stir at intervals till the strawberries soften and are cooked.

Reduce the flame to low and continue to simmer till the jam mixture starts reducing. Keep on stirring often when the jam mixture is reducing.It will take about 25 minutes.

Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the jam cool. Add it in a small sterilized jar or bottle or a clean bowl. This proportion gives about 1 bowl of jam which is enough for a week,.
