Strawberry Jam


We made strawberry jam today. It's a combination of May 2011 Chiao Hu book and Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) Strawberry Jam recipe.

Ingredients
1 lb of strawberry
1 lime
1-2 cups of rock candy

Instructions
1. Chop the strawberry into small pieces. I think they should be as small as you like, but remember that they will shrink as you cook them.
2. Combine strawberries, lime juice and rock candy into pot.
3. Boil under medium low heat for 40 minutes.
4. Put a plate into the freezer. To see if the jam is done, pour a bit of cooked juice onto plate. Return onto freezer for a minute. Take it out and run finger through it. If the liquid doesn't try to run back together, then it's done.
