Strawberry jam with pieces of berries with agar-agar

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare delicious strawberry jam with pieces of berries, we prepare the necessary ingredients and a vegetable substitute for gelatin Agar-agar.

2. Step 2:

   

   Before you start making jam according to the recipe, you need to sort out one kilogram of strawberries, remove the stems and rinse the berry well under running water, then put the berry on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut into medium-sized pieces, but do not mince a third of the strawberries.

4. Step 4:

   

   We put the sliced strawberries in a suitable saucepan with a thick bottom and pour six hundred grams of sugar into it.

5. Step 5:

   

   Twist the remaining berry with a blender and turning on the stove on medium heat, put a saucepan with the berry on it and stirring bring it to a boil, in the process add one teaspoon of butter, as it effectively prevents the formation of foam.

7. Step 6:

   

   We put the twisted berry in a common saucepan, reduce the heat of the stove to low and cook the berry, stirring constantly for another ten minutes, after which we turn off the stove, remove the pan from the stove and let the jam cool for fifteen minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   We use a vegetable pectin substance in the recipe, which replaces gelatin, add two teaspoons of agar-agar to a bowl with two tablespoons of sugar and mix.

9. Step 8:

   

   We put the jam pot back on the stove, bring it to a boil and pour a mixture of sugar with agar-agar into it and mix it properly. Jam with the use of pectin has a lower calorie content and during its preparation a much smaller amount of sugar will be required. We cook the jam for exactly ten minutes from the moment of boiling, mixing it well all the time.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour the jam into jars in hot form, pre-sterilize them in the oven and close with suitable lids for this. We prepare delicious strawberry jam for the winter, so that later, on cold evenings, we can enjoy the wonderful summer flavors of this magnificent dessert.
