Strawberry marmalade is a delightful sweet spread that can elevate your breakfast or snacks. Making it at home is simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you produce your own luscious strawberry marmalade.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 packet of pectin (optional, for thicker marmalade)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and mash the strawberries in a bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: In a pot, mix the mashed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Check Consistency: To test, place a spoonful of marmalade on a cold plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
- Jar It Up: Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, seal, and let them cool.
Enjoy your homemade strawberry marmalade on toast, pancakes, or even as a topping for desserts!
