Ingredients
-
8 cups fresh strawberries, rinsed & trimmed
-
1 lemon, zested & juiced
-
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
Directions
Select the STEW/SOUP preset. Set the time to one hour and temperature to 212˚F.
Press the Stir setting until the STIR OFF setting is illuminated.
Press START and place all the ingredients into the pot and cover.
After 10 minutes of cooking, uncover the pot and press the stir setting until the STIR LOW setting is illuminated.
While jam is cooking, place a plate in the freezer to chill. This will be used to check doneness of jam.
After an additional 35 minutes of cooking, remove the plate from the freezer and spoon a small bit of jam onto the plate. If the jam is done, it will hold together. If it is runny, it is not done and will need to continue cooking for the remaining 15 minutes.
Once the jam is done, cool, jar, and store in the refrigerator.
